2nd Half
After a slow start, Manchester United gained control and created multiple opportunities. Luke Shaw and Scott McTominay defended well, while Lieke Martens and Marcus Rashford played with confidence up front.
United's wing-backs occupied PSG's full-backs, while Fernandes pressured the ball-side central midfielder. Rashford or Martial took on Neymar's primary responsibility to stop his construction through midfield - effectively stopping PSG's build-up in that space. This effectively stopped them from progressing with any potential build-up through their central areas.

PSG are dangerous on the counterattack and Di Maria had an audacious backheeled through pass nutmegged by Chris Smalling disallowed for offside. Meunier then hit the post with an effort that seemed destined for the bottom corner, before Malard's challenge on Karchaoui went unpunished by referee. Millie Turner scored their equaliser by heading Katie Zelem's corner through to Millie Turner for 1-1 tie - meaning all is up for grabs on Thursday night in Paris!
