The enemy for Manchester United in this match is Omonoia goalkeeper, Francis Uzoho. Yes he really frustrated the Manchester United players with what he showed in this match. He always thwarts all efforts made by Manchester United. Lucky for Manchester United can enter one goal so they can win.
I agree that if the Omonoia goalkeeper can be consistent then in the near future he will be in a giant team.

The inclusion of Casemiro and C. ronaldo into the starting eleven.. Manchester United playing is getting crazy and aggressive. It's just a shame that Rasfhord wasted too many chances, and I also have to admit that goalkeeper Omonia has been fantastic, 12 crucial saves. Hopefully the performance is consistent and bought by other European clubs.
A Thin Win That Wasn't Easy But Good.
Congratulations.

if McTominay doesn't score in extra time in the second half, it will make Man United very sorry.
looking at the completely different stats, conceding only 1 goal, of course, it was a shocking result from Omonia.
Man United is deadlocked in the attack. 34 shots were taken and wasted chances. Uzoho is Omonia's star in this match. she looks very impressive. hope, there will be a club with a better league that will be interested in him.

I'm so surprised Omonia can frustrate Man United that it's hard for them to make a goal in normal times. Man United's chances are numerous but goalkeeper Omonia is outstanding. Several chances he missed. No wonder Uzoho was the best player of the game that night. The strange thing is that Uzoho is a Man United fan, I read that in some media. The dream of meeting a Man United player happened and it made him perform superbly. This win should give Man United three crucial points.

Similar cases against Real Sociedad, Brighton, Brentford, Crystal Palace, Everton and in all of these matches Manchester United dominated the match in all stats but they lost the match because they failed to score a goal and even in this match against Omonia if the strikers could pass the ball properly they would have scored against Manchester United as they had a clear open position one time but their forward messed up to give a cross which would have been a sure shot goal as the other forward was unmarked and in open position in front of the goal post.

Funny thing is that Fabiano Freitas is Omonia's number 1 goalie and he is out injured in this match and the rumor was that their back up Constantinos Panagi would be the substitute but when the final team list came it was Francis Uzoho and this is the first time i am seeing him play and he made an impact and if not for his performance there would be many goals.

Sorry mate are you comparing one of best shot stoppers in the world for past fifteen years to Uzoho, because of his yesterday's heroic performance. I think you can find this type of heroic in Degea's CV not once or twice. But I will see this as a sarcasm.
Sorry to say but i think you don't understand that this edition of UEL has changed. Any team that finishes second will go to playoff against the teams that got relegated to UEL from UCL. So united need to win against sheriff and also Real Sociedad to top the table and avoid playing against potential newcomers like Ajax, Barcelona, Juventus, Athletico Madrid and some big European teams.

Lazio was in total control of the game until M. Lazzari was red-carded. In the second half, Sturm Graz took advantage of Lazio's loss of one man and created some goal-scoring chances. But Lazio kept fighting till the end and I think they would be proud of their performance. This group is unpredictable because all teams have equal opportunities to move to the next stage of the competition.


Omonia Nicosia fans would be proud of their team for fighting gallantly in Old Trafford. About 4500 of them traveled to support their team. Although their defense should be blamed for Scott McTominay's goal they should be praised also for withstanding United's ceaseless attacking threat. Manchester United had all the opportunity to score but I was disappointed by the selfishness of Omonia's Bruno Felipe. He made the team lose their best chance to get a goal. He would have passed the ball to unmarked Andronikos Kakoullis.

Kudos to Victor Uzoho for his outstanding performance. Yesterday was his lucky day and I hope it would open greater doors of opportunities for a better club in Europe. He has suffered criticism for his performance in Nigeria, but now is seen as the best and has received praise even from some of his fiercest critics. Rashford currently deserves to always be in the first eleven because he has really improved

Manchester United is actually already in a safe position in the group stage of the Europa League this season, because Manchester United only needs one more win against FC Sheriff and will not be a problem if they lose to Real Sociedad in the last match of the group stage of the Europa League this season. because Manchester United will definitely qualify for the last 16 of the Europa League very easily if they can beat FC Sheriff in the fifth match in group E of the Europa League.

I think we should not talk about the tactics of Manchester, but about the courage of the Omonia goalkeeper, who probably gave out his best match in his career. He didn't have enough minutes to have positive memories of this match. In general Omonia played badly and if it wasn't for the goalkeeper, the score would have been 3:0 or 5:0. Manchester still have good chances to exit of the group stage.

I agree with you Manchester United's inconsistent game and poor tactics. It looks like United's performance is still not optimal every time Omonia uses a defensive strategy. Despite goalkeeper Uzoho's brave efforts, United's players were still unsure of themselves and finding it difficult to find scoring opportunities.

However, McTominay's winning goal was crucial for Manchester United as it cut Real Sociedad's lead to three points with two games remaining this season. In fact, Omonia Nicosia's performance knocked them out of the Europa League, but they can still join the Conference League. The next European game will be played at Old Trafford between Manchester United and Sheriff Tiraspol, and United must win.

I so much fancy the performance of Omonia goal keeper, saved a lots of goals for his team. Omonia did more of defense and it went well, the defense was very solid that it could not let Manchester United to penetrate for a very long time. Omonia defense was like it will be impossible for Manchester United to score.  Manchester United played well too, they had good chances that would have results to be goals but it didn't end up well.  Manchester United are very fortunate to score towards the end of the match.

Manchester United won by scoring after 90 minutes. Manchester United faced a lot of problems to win the match. Manchester United players made 33 shots in the entire match. Ronaldo made 7 shots. Still could not score any goals. Omonia's defenders played well against Manchester United. From this match it is easy to understand that the performance of Manchester United team is not stable yet. Their attack is still weak. The team has a lot of talented players. Even then they don't play well. I would say United's poor performance is due to their tactical weakness.

This is football and anything is possible that's why it's always entertaining because it's not always that the strongest will handle the weak so easily. great work from Omonia goal keeper and great work from united players they did their best and at the end a win came. Although, I think If Omonia had Degea as their stopper last night, I'm sure both Rashford and Ronaldo would have scored hattricks.

Omonoia gave Man U a good run for their money and I totally loved it. They fought hard to win. Much respect to the goal keeper, who to me, deserves the man of the match award. Even Ronaldo in the 47th minute or so had to appreciate Uzoho for his amazing unbelievable saves. If those defenders hadn't messed up the game would have ended goal less. A top club is going to sign Uzoho in January, I am sure of it.

The Omonia players did very well to defend Manchester United even till the last minute of the second half, they are so good in defence, if they could get good attackers they will make a good football team because they will be sure that no team will be able to score more than two goals in a match.
They did show that they have good defence and good goalkeeper. The match also show that Manchester United has weak strikers who could not finish up with goals even having the larger portion of possessions.

As I said before, in Group F all the teams have the same points and to qualify for the next round is still possible for them. Also, I think Lazio can play well in the first half because even Lazio can lead 1-0 at half time, at least it proves Lazio played well in the first half. Moreover, Lazio were not directly behind by two goals as Lazio could at least lead the match but Sturm Graz was able to equalize the score 1-0, 1-1, 2-1 and finally 2-2. Just imagine, with conditions like that Lazio can still play well, which of course if they play with complete players they will certainly win because I also bet on Lazio.

I expected Lazio to win this match. But they did not play well. Their performance was particularly poor in the first half. Lazio could have won the match if they played an attacking strategy from the beginning of the match. As they played with 10 players in the second half. So it was difficult for them to resist the attack of Sturm Graz. And they conceded two goals. Lazio has lost points in the last three matches. Qualifying for the next round is uncertain for them.

Francis Uzoho was just too brilliant in that match, saved 12 shots on target out of the 34 shots shows how well he performed, I believed his sterling performance against Man Utd will open up a better club for him in Europe next summer, meanwhile some Man Utd critic blamed the team for not scoring plenty goals against their lowly rated opponent Omonia citing the combined wages of Man Utd players to that of Omonia Nicosia players, I believe that criticism is baseless and lack substance because their opponents played well defensively backed up with a very good goalkeeper who thwarted every efforts of Man Utd in scoring goals.

Regret indeed because it gives more confidence to bet on Lazio, because in the end they only got a draw and again in this group F still got the same result and only the difference in goal productivity determines their position. Indeed, Lazio played with only 10 players after Manuel Lazzari got a red card, whereas if Lazio were still playing with 11 players it looks like Lazio will certainly win. I just didn't expect Sturm Graz to be able to play well against Lazio, even though Lazio in Serie A were in their best performance but unfortunately, their good performance in Serie A still hasn't made Lazio lucky in the Europa League.

The Omonia Nicosia Goalkeeper Uzoho had the best game of his life, what a heroic performance against Manchester United. Their defense was solid and really organized to deal with the chances created by Manchester United. I really respect Omonoia for playing their heart out and defending brilliantly, they came with a plan and executed it but didn’t go their way. At least they deserved a point but that's how the game is can go anywhere.
