The match took place at a fairly high pace right from the first minutes. Man United actively tried to control the ball and organize attacks, while Fulham waited for opportunities from transition situations.
In the 10th minute, Man United had a notable opportunity when Lisandro Martinez rushed in to shoot quickly, but the Fulham goalkeeper reacted in time to save. About 15 minutes later, the away team continued to approach the opening goal. Bruno Fernandes took a volley in the penalty area but the ball found the post.
Fulham also created no small pressure on Man United's goal. The home team had dangerous combinations, but the final finishing situations were not accurate enough. The two teams entered halftime without scoring.
After the break, Fulham played more aggressively and caused many difficulties for Man United in deploying the ball. The away team continuously lost the ball when passing the ball into the opponent's half.
In the 63rd minute, Fulham suddenly took the lead. Bassey stole the ball in front of Man United's penalty area and then launched a powerful shot. Goalkeeper Lammens pushed the ball away, but Lisandro Martinez in an effort to handle it accidentally put the ball into his own net. Fulham leads 1-0.
Man United immediately increased pressure. Mbeumo had a chance with a left-footed curler but was blocked by goalkeeper Leno. Cunha also tried his luck from outside the penalty area but could not beat the Fulham goalkeeper.
In the 89th minute, Man United found an equalizer. Cunha received the ball on the left wing and then launched a shot immediately. The ball touched a Fulham defender's foot and changed direction, causing Leno to not have time to react and go into the net.
Without more goals in the remaining time, Man United and Fulham drew 1-1. This result helped Man United avoid defeat away from home, but Michael Carrick's team still has many problems to solve after the 5th round.
