Man Utd into Europa League semis via Bruno Fernandes penalty despite Copenhagen goalkeeper heroics

It is actually easy to forget the burden on Bruno Fernandes’s shoulders when he arrived at Manchester United in late January. The storm clouds were circling again after back-to-back league defeats to Liverpool and Burnley and, privately, there were concerns within Old Trafford that attempts to depict their new £47 million signing as some sort of white knight, here to rescue the team’s troubled season, constituted undue pressure.
Fernandes may not have been a panacea for all of United’s shortcomings - this side remains very much a work in progress - but it is hard to think of too many other players who have had quite such a transformative effect on a team this season. No one has done more to drag this bunch out of the mire than Fernandes and, once again, he was their saviour on a frantic night in searing heat in Cologne when United needed an extra-time penalty from their Portugal playmaker and new darling to see off the stubborn resistance of Copenhagen.
United had found their route to goal blocked by a combination of the brilliance of the Copenhagen goalkeeper, Karl-Johan Johnsson, and their own wastefulness but, just five minutes into extra-time, the outstanding Anthony Martial won a penalty and, well, the imperious Fernandes did the rest.
It was the 21st penalty United have been awarded this term - more than any other side in Europe’s top five leagues - and, while Fernandes opted against his usual hop, skip and jump on this occasion, the outcome was still the same. Johnsson had kept out almost everything United had chucked at him but he was powerless to prevent Fernandes’ penalty from nestling into the side of the net, his seventh successful spot-kick for United. It was the only one of United’s 14 shots on target that found the net. “He knows that keepers will wait for him to do the jump. He practices both of them and he practices both sides so he’s got them sorted,” Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the United manager, said. “He’s better than I was anyway!”
United’s reward is a third successive semi-final of the season and Solskjaer will hope, after defeats to Manchester City and Chelsea in the League Cup and FA Cup respectively, that his team can go one better on Sunday against either Wolves or Sevilla, who face each other on Tuesday night. “Two good teams,” he said. “We know everything about Wolverhampton. I had a [Round of 32 tie] with Molde against Sevilla [I lost in 2016] so I’ve got something to get back at them so I don’t mind [who we get].”

With Champions League qualification already secured, an added layer of pressure had been removed for United, although you would not necessarily have known it. At least until United started to take a foothold in the game as the hour mark approached, they had been nervy, unconvincing and flat. Mohammed Daramy’s pace and movement had asked questions and United were moving the ball too slowly in the final third and struggling to exploit the space outside.
Half-time, in truth, came at the wrong time for United, though. Mason Greenwood scored with a superb finish only to be ruled offside and Solskjaer’s men had just started to emerge from their slumber at the point but the game would burst into life in the second half. Copenhagen were compact and well organised but, as they were eventually pushed deeper and deeper and fatigue started to rear its head, they were soon indebted to Johnsson for dragging the game into extra-time. Greenwood and Fernandes had both rattled the post before the Copenhagen goalkeeper became a persistent thorn in United’s side.
Not before Copenhagen had given United a huge fright, though. After lovely trickery from Rasmus Falk to take out Brandon Williams and Fred, the Copenhagen forward squared to Jonas Wind who, in turn, teed the ball up for Oviedo on his left shoulder. For a fleeting moment, Oviedo must have had visions of a repeat of his second half winner for Everton against United at Old Trafford in 2013 but Aaron Wan-Bissaka got himself between the goal and the ball. A crucial intervention.

Thereafter, United unloaded on Copenhagen. Fernandes found his passing range and kept pulling Copenhagen open and, upfront, Martial’s pace and incisive, driving runs wreaked havoc. This was the centre-forward Solskjaer had always hoped to see and, although Martial’s finishing for once deserted him on the night, his confidence and hunger have reached new levels. One bullet of a shot was heading for the top corner only for Johnsson to make a superb diving save late on and, by that stage, it was clear the game was going to extra-time.
Solskjaer brought on Juan Mata and the Spaniard’s introduction, coupled with Fernandes and Martial’s creativity and drive, lifted United. After a lovely shuffle of the feet from Martial from Fernandes’ pass, the Copenhagen goalkeeper denied the Frenchman again. Down on the ground at that point, Martial must have wondered what he had to do to beat Johnsson but, in the next passage of play, he was on his feet in time to win a penalty following a nudge from Andreas Bjelland. Soft? A touch, but Fernandes - as he does - showed no mercy.

That's it! United have done it. Bruno Fernandes scored from the spot but Copenhagen fought them tooth and nail in a really enjoyable second half and extra time. United will feel that justice was done, they hit the woodwork repeatedly, they had pens turned down, had the ball in the net but were denied by VAR, and they came up against an inspired goalkeeping performance from Karl-Johan Johnsson, who really did not deserve to lose. Copenhagen were never out of it but in fairness did not have a shot on target. The shameful five subs rule really helps the bigger teams in these sort of situations and in the end, United were worthy winners and go into the semi-final relieved and, I would imagine, knackered. James Ducker's match report will be up shortly. From me: goodnight.

Copenhagen have a freekick. Right hand side, right by the MUFC goal line. Where a hockey short corner would be... they play it to the back of the area for surely the obvious move (but not so obvious that it is marked up by United) but the touch from the Copenhagen player is poor. Jesse Lingard can break. Jess Lingatrd can run fast. Jesse Lingard cannot do anything with the football.
But they waste a good long build up with a poor long ball.

Rashford is feeling at his groin, if you'll pardon the expression, and is subbed off. Jesse Lingard on in what is United's 60th match of the season.
Copenhagen have the ball and are probing, both sides look gassed.

Game has slowed to a walk, Mata slips it across, Pogba looks to have been clattered there to me by Zeca. It drops for Fernandes who hits another crisp shot and there's yet another world class save from Johnsson.
They get a corner... scramble... another save from Johnsson! This guy does NOT deserve to finish on the losing side

United just cannot put Copenhagen away, a great counter attack from MUFC , Mata in the area and there's at least a suggestion he has been fouled. Our distant god VAR VAR VAR decrees: seven more years of famine. No penalty.
Both sides looking tired, Copenhagen the more so, as you would imagine.

Rashford through again, Johnsson brilliant once again. Surely offside, though. Indeed it is.

Martial again cuts through the defence like a knife through ... Lurpak? They cannot tackle him, but he cannot find the angle for the shot either. He sets up Mata with a backheel, the Spaniard - playing his 100th game in European competition - shoots, the brilliant keeper Johnsson saves again. Nice to see a competent Johnsson.

Probs a penalty. Once he had given it on field, it would have been unreasonable to over turn it on VAR. It was umpire's call, clipping leg stump basically. The Copenhagen defender had his arms around Martial but it wasn't a clear bit of Wrestlemania.

End of 90 minutes: Manchester United 0 Copenhagen 0
United have hit the woodwork, they've had the ball in the net a couple of times but offside, they have had a pen turned down... but they have not scored. All of those decisions were entirely correct, by the way.
The sense before the game was that United would have far too much but it has not at all proven the case and Copenhagen could easily have nicked this themselves.
30 minutes extra time and pens if needed - this is a one-leg affair, you will recall.

Just three minutes added, normally seems to be a lot more these days.
Martial with a wonderful mazy run that would deserve to win any game but then there's a truly superb tackled from the Copenhagen defender Nelsson that would deserve to keep you in any game. Emergency drink for Pogba and Rashford. Few tired looking players out there now.

Wow! Now it is United who are breathing a sigh of relief. Copenhagen have opened them up thanks to a glorious bit of skill from Falk, the sub Oviedo hits it and that is blocked in true desperation by Bailly. Remember Bryan Oviedo? Everton.
Shortly before that, Bailly was unfairly booked for an innocuous foul.

United have it in the net again. This time the linesman has flagged and rightly so. Rashford and Greenwood linked up so, so well, and the brilliant Greenwood drilled the low left foot shot against the post. Rashers is Johnny on the Spot for the rebound but that's offside by a country mile.
08:19 PM

MUFC have upped the tempo of their press, which Copenhagen don't quite have the technical ability to deal with. The downside of course is that it is more tiring. But the sense is growing that United might get one here, and I don't really see the Danish side coming back if they do. If I were OGS, I'd be saying: give me absolutely everything for 15 minutes and we'll break these.

Copenhagen have given a good account of themselves and could well have scored the opener here. United had one ruled off for offside, correctly.

and welcome to our live blog of the Europa League quarterfinal as Manchester United face FC Copenhagen for a place in the semis. It is a one-legged affair and it takes place in the RheinEnergieSTADION (capitals: model's own) in Cologne, which is obviously a neutral venue.
And indeed a warm one: it's 91 degrees there at time of writing although of course that should cool down a little bit ahead of the kick off at 8pm UK time, which is to say about an hour and 20 minutes time. At the top of the hour we will have the team news.
This, for Manchester United, represents an opportunity to turn a decent season into a very acceptable one: while they may be streets behind their two great rivals Liverpool and Manchester City on the league evidence, and it is ONLY the Europa League, a European trophy is a European trophy and with little else to distract them, Ole's Improvers find themselves probably justifiable favourites to lift the Cup. You would think that Inter Milan and Bayer Leverkusen look the two strongest other sides, but they are playing themselves tonight so that's one problem taken care of. Wolves vs Man United would be pretty cool in an European final, no?
Solskjaer can call on an exciting attacking trio tonight by the sounds of it, with Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood set to give the Danish side a triple-pronged problem. Mason became United's youngest European scorer way back at the start of 'this' 'season'.
