Lenny Yoro threw himself to block the shot. It was the moment when Phil Jones, a senior member of the team, came to mind.
Manchester United beat Olympique Lyon 5-4 in the second leg of the 2024-25 UEFA Europa League quarterfinals at Old Trafford in Manchester, England, at 4 a.m. on the 18th (Korea time). Leading by a combined score of 7-6, Manchester United made it to the semifinals.
Manchester United led 2-0 in the first half thanks to back-to-back goals by Manuel Ugarte and Diogo Dalot. At the beginning of the second half, Manchester United seemed to maintain a good mood and win easily. However, Manchester United's defense team was shaky. When the team allowed two goals in the second half, the score tied the game and collapsed again in the playoff. Corentin Tolisso left the mound at the end of the second half, allowing two goals for Lyon, which now has 10 players. The team's defeat has become more regrettable.
Manchester United performed a miracle. Trailing 2-4, Bruno Fernandes scored on a penalty kick to follow the lead and scored twice just two minutes before the game ended. Kobe Mainu balanced the game with a right-footed kick and Maguire finished Casemiro's cross a minute later, turning the tables.
On this day, Manchester United Supernova center back Yoro started. He used fast feet and flexible legs to block Lyon's attack. He played 120 minutes until the playoff, recording a success rate of 93 percent (43/46), one chance creation, five final third passes, nine clearings, nine recoveries, 56 percent (5/9) of ground ball competition, and 50 percent (1/2) of air ball competition.
There was a scene where he was applauded by fans. Early in the second half, Yoro slipped inside the penalty box when he was facing the opponent team's striker. The opponent team had a chance to shoot, and Yoro put his head to prevent it. The shot hit Yoro's head and missed. Yoro was in bed for a while due to strong shock, and then stood up to play well.
바카라 It reminded me of the defense of Jones, a senior player of Yoro. Jones, who played with Park Ji-sung, once showed a so-called mop defense in the match against Arsenal. Jones was blocking the dribble of Olivier Giroud, the opponent team's striker, but Jones slipped. As soon as Jones was penetrated, it was a one-on-one chance, so Jones crawled and blocked the ball by touching the head.
Manchester United fans applauded when they saw Yoro's fighting spirit, saying, "Yoro saved it with his head," and "Vidic and Jones will be happy to see it."
