The United did not take anything to harass the rival goal and Rasmus Hojlund sent the ball to the stick in the first stages of the game. Shortly after the first goal came after a huge failure of Alphonse Areola. The West Ham goalkeeper seemed to control the ball without problems after a foul but the ball escaped his hands incomprehensibly and ended up demolishing Ayden Heaven innocently inside the area.
Bruno Fernandes turned the maximum penalty in the 5th minute with total tranquility. The 'Red Devils', with Matheus Cunha in the eleven but still without the recently signed Bryan Mbeumo, had options to expand the scoreboard as a stubbornness of Leny Yoro or a goal canceled outside Amad's game.
For its part, the West Ham controlled possession but did not arrive as much as the United. However, he had a good opportunity at Tomas Soucek's head. Those of Ruben Amorim returned to the load after passing through changing rooms and, as in the first part, shook West Ham in the first minutes. The United stole West Ham's wallet at a bad exit from behind and the ball ended up in Bruno Fernandes' boots, which at the edge of the area devised a beautiful thread shot, not very powerful but perfectly placed, which left Areola as a statue in 52.
