Omonia Nicosia v Manchester United live: United sneak a dicey win

HERE'S THE GOAL

United in possession, Omonia sitting.

THE GOAL HAS, AS YOU'D IMAGINE, FIRED OMONIA

They're snapping into challenges while United are snapping at each other.

And when it comes in, Martinez pulls Lecjaks' shirt. He's extremely lucky not to concede a penalty.

TEN HAG WILL BE RAGING

His team have been so careless tonight.

No, says VAR!

GOAL! Omonia Nicosia 1-0 Manchester United (Ansarifard) We've seen this one before! Who remembers Basaksehir away? Omonia get the free-kick away and Sancho is lax in sticking it back into the box, laying back to Malacia who loses the ball and suddenly Omonia have a break with three on two! Sancho does nothing while Bruno races downfield, feeds in Ansarifard with a terrific pass, and he takes a perfect first touch then lashes a shot high into the roof past De Gea! No team should ever, ever concede a goal like that.

In the best possible way. He teases the Omonia defenders, riding three separate fouls and rolling studs over ball following one of them, before he finally stays down. Free-kick United, out on the right...

Malacia careers into the hoarding and half over it. That was almost very painful.

Sancho does well, turning out of trouble and finding Dalot, who slides a fine disguised reverse-pass down the right side of the box. Ronaldo, on the end of it, drives across the face of goal ... and no one's there to turn it in.

He ducks infield, uses Lecjaks as a screen, and unfurls a terrific curler that's headed for the far top corner, only for Fabiano to dive to his right and tip around the post. He's having a fine game so far.

And lamps it high and wide. Still no 700th career goal for him, the waster.

It's currently Sheriff 0-0 Real Sociedad

Remember that only the winners of the group progress; the runners-up playoff against a third-placed champions League side to see who moves on.

But it's just too high for Ronaldo.

Not something I've said much about United's opponents over the last few years - even those they've beaten comfortably.

Sancho into Ronaldo who flips around the corner for Bruno ... who lifts over Fabiano and onto the bar, which Miletic heads trying to keep the ball out, then Ronaldo is penalised for a high boot when trying to poke home. Surely a goal is imminent?

Martinez slides a ball into Bruno, who steps over it nicely to out Antony through! He must score! But instead of sweeping home, he tries to square for Bruno, but the pass is behind him and he can't drag it home! Oh Toneh!

And he's started well here, carrying the ball forward and starting attacks. Like this one, which sees Sancho feeding Ronaldo, who tries a Zidane spin followed by a Ronaldo toe-poke, which is deflected behind. The corner comes to nowt.

Moving it nicely about down the left, Casemiro contributing a pleasant flick. But then Ronaldo tries a cross and the ball flies behind.
