The Europa League is currently Man United's only hope this season. Ruben Amorim's team entered the first leg of the quarter-final against Lyon as the only team unbeaten in this year's tournament.
The away team started well, creating more opportunities. Rasmus Hojlund missed a good situation, and Man United paid the price with a goal in the 25th minute. Andre Onana made an unreasonable move, helping Thiago Almada score from a direct free kick.
Leny Yoro's timely equalizer in the first half helped the Red Devils relieve pressure. Both teams did not take any risks to attack for most of the second half. In the 88th minute, Joshua Zirkzee jumped high to head the ball into the net from Bruno Fernandes' accurate pass, putting Man United ahead amid the explosions of home fans.
However, Rayan Cherki took advantage of Onana's other mistake in extra time. The Cameroonian player could not control the ball after Georges Mikautadze's shot, allowing Cherki to rush into the equalizer to equalize 2-2.
The 2-2 draw disappointed fans when the Red Devils conceded just a few seconds before the match ended. They will host Lyon in the return match on April 18.
