Manchester United fought hard to earn a 3-3 draw against FC Porto in a thrilling Europa League match on Friday, thanks to Harry Maguire’s last-minute header. Erik ten Hag’s team took an early lead with goals from Marcus Rashford and Rasmus Hojlund, both breaking through Porto’s defense led by captain Diogo Costa. However, Porto quickly responded with headers from Pepe and Samu Omorodion, leveling the score before halftime.

Omorodion struck again early in the second half, putting Porto ahead and leaving United on the back foot. To make matters worse, Bruno Fernandes was sent off for the second game in a row, reducing United to 10 men. Despite this, United showed resilience and continued to push for an equalizer.

In the final moments of the game, substitute Harry Maguire delivered a crucial header from a corner, securing a hard-fought draw for United. Porto had opportunities to extend their lead, but Andre Onana made key saves to keep United in the game.

United, though down to 10 men, never gave up, with Garnacho and Casemiro both testing Costa late in the match. Maguire’s stoppage-time goal ensured the team walked away with a point, maintaining their fight in the competition after another draw against FC Twente.
