UEFA confirm Matheus Cunha’s fate after red card in Man United’s sensational Roma comeback
Story updated
The story in brief
6-second readUEFA have confirmed their final decision on a further punishment for Matheus Cunha after Man United's incredible comeback against AS Roma.
From the source
Manchester United forward Matheus Cunha has discovered whether he will face an additional ban following his red card during Tuesday’s sensational comeback against Roma. Cunha scored a sensational brace in the closing stages of United’s Champions League meeting with Roma at Old Trafford, completing a rousing comeback that has earned Michael Carrick a stay of execution.
United found themselves trailing by two goals inside 17 minutes, due to strikes from Matías Soulé and Donyell Malen. But the Red Devils were handed a lifeline at the hour mark when Cunha won a penalty, which was converted by Bruno Fernandes.
After an encroachment gave him a second opportunity, the United skipper made no mistake at the second attempt. United toiled without much reward until Cunha pounced on a missed clearance and tapped in from close range to level at 2-2.
