Maguire’s Late Heroics Secure United’s Europa Semifinal Spot

In an electrifying UEFA Europa League quarter-final clash, Manchester United staged one of the most dramatic comebacks in the competition’s history, defeating Olympique Lyonnais 5-4 after extra time and advancing 7-6 on aggregate at Old Trafford.

With just seconds left in the match, Harry Maguire emerged as the unlikely hero, heading home the decisive goal to send the stadium into delirium.

Manchester United had started strong, racing to a 2-0 lead by halftime thanks to goals from Manuel Ugarte and Diogo Dalot.

However, a resurgent Lyon struck back through Corentin Tolisso and Nicolas Tagliafico, leveling the aggregate score and setting up a heart-stopping second half.

Extra time brought even more drama, as Lyon took the lead twice, first through Rayan Cherki and then Alexandre Lacazette’s penalty.

United seemed destined for elimination, but Bruno Fernandes reignited their hopes with a penalty of his own before Kobbie Mainoo curled in a stunning equalizer. Maguire’s header sealed the victory, showcasing the team’s never-say-die attitude.

The win was described as “more than a miracle” by manager Ruben Amorim, who drew inspiration from legendary moments in United’s history, including the 1999 Champions League final.

The result sets up a semifinal against Athletic Bilbao, with United dreaming of Europa League glory and a return to the Champions League.
