Fana misjudged the trajectory of Casemiro's diagonal ball into the penalty area intended for Hodgin, who skillfully controlled it and attempted to slip it past Sanchez. The Chelsea goalkeeper brought down the United striker, prompting the referee to immediately award a penalty. It was a prime chance for Manchester United to secure the lead in the second half. Captain Bruno Fernandes stepped up as the penalty taker, cleverly deceiving Sanchez and coolly placing the ball into the bottom left corner, putting United 1-0 up in the 70th minute. The goal sparked an enthusiastic reaction from Van Nistelrooy. Unfortunately, United’s lead didn’t last long, as Caicedo equalized for Chelsea shortly afterward.
