He patted his arm, signaling that Fran had handled the ball first.
Fran argued that he had stopped the ball with his shoulder.
But the main referee believed what he had seen.
And the replay on the big screen confirmed it.
Twenty-fourth minute.
Deng Kai attempted another long-range shot. He could get many chances from that position today without even needing to pass inside.
This time Fletcher was finally in position and blocked the football to the baseline.
Thirty-third minute.
Fran's long-range shot resulted in a corner kick.
Davies took the corner kick, Fran contested at the near post, and his header changed direction and went straight into the goal.
One to one!
The young Manchester United team actually managed to score.
Or rather, Fran's individual ability was noticeably showcased in this match.
He was a player who could change the scoreline all by himself.
But even so, in Manchester United's formidable frontline, he could only rank fourth!
