In the second half, Man United quickly took the lead. In the 50th minute, Bruno Fernandes made a delicate pass, allowing Amad Diallo to head the ball dangerously against the post, then go into the net.
The lead helped Man United players feel excited. In the 77th minute, Amad Diallo once again proved his talent with an excellent move. He dribbled past the opponent's defense and finished from outside the penalty area, raising the score to 2-0 for Man United.
In the remaining time, PAOK could not create a significant threat to Man United's goal. The away team mainly played defensively and could not launch effective attacks.
In the end, Man United won with a score of 2-0. This victory was important for Man United. The three points earned helped the "Red Devils" significantly improve their position on the Europa League 2024-2025 rankings when they climbed to 15th place with 6 points after 4 matches.
