Manchester United came from two goals down to beat Roma 3-2 at Old Trafford in their fourth Champions League league-phase match, Bongda24h's final report confirms. Bruno Fernandes began the recovery from the penalty spot before Matheus Cunha scored twice late on.
Roma establish a two-goal lead
Matias Soule opened the scoring in the 11th minute after Kobbie Mainoo lost possession and Mora supplied the pass. Donyell Malen converted a penalty six minutes later following Ayden Heaven's handball.
United struggled to respond effectively before half-time, while Roma threatened on the break. The visitors took their 2-0 lead into the interval.
After the restart, Cunha won a penalty following contact with Gianluca Mancini. Fernandes's initial effort was saved, but a retake was awarded for Roma encroachment and he scored in the 58th minute.
Cunha overturns the score
United continued pressing, with Bryan Mbeumo striking both posts in one move. Their equaliser arrived in the 83rd minute when Leonardo Balerdi failed to clear and Cunha finished from close range.
Three minutes later Shea Lacey released the Brazilian, who scored from a narrow angle. Cunha then received a second yellow card in the 90th minute, having been booked for removing his shirt in celebration.
United survived five minutes of stoppage time with ten men to end nine matches without victory across all competitions. Their next task is to sustain the response while addressing the mistakes behind the early goals. One win eases immediate pressure without determining the coaching staff's long-term future or the season's outcome.
