Football: Starting from being abandoned by Barcelona

However, just as Manchester City fans were excited, Rashford injected vitality into Manchester United's offense after the start of the second half.

His breakthroughs on the left created threats many times and almost changed the score in one attack.

In the 65th minute, Manchester United won a counterattack opportunity in the midfield.

After Carrick intercepted the ball in the midfield, he quickly passed the ball to Mata in the frontcourt.

After receiving the ball, Mata saw Rashford quickly inserted on the left and decisively sent a precise straight pass.

After receiving the ball, Rashford used his speed and technology to break through the defense of Manchester City's right back Sagna.

He quickly dribbled into the penalty area and faced Manchester City's central defenders Demichelis and Mangala, who tried to block his shooting route.

Rashford was not intimidated by the defenders. He used a quick feint to shake off Demichelis and then decisively shot.

The ball flew towards the upper right corner of the goal like an arrow, but unfortunately, it hit the post, making a crisp sound and bounced back into the field.

Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart reacted quickly, pounced on the ball, and hugged the ball in his arms at the first time, defusing the danger.

The host Keane said excitedly: "Rashford! What a pity! His shot hit the post, and Manchester United missed a great scoring opportunity!"

"Rashford's breakthrough was very exciting this time, and he almost tore through Manchester City's defense single-handedly."

"It's a pity that the shot hit the post."

"Manchester City's defense still has some loopholes, and Manchester United needs to continue to increase its offensive strength."

"It's a pity for Rashford to score this goal! Just a little bit!"

"Manchester City's defense has some problems, and Rashford's breakthrough is very beautiful!"

"Joe Hart reacted quickly, and this save was also crucial!"

"Come on Manchester United! There is still a chance!"

"Rashford is in good shape, keep up the good work!"

Under the leadership of Rashford, the morale of Manchester United's players has improved, and they continue to look for opportunities to attack.

In the following game, Manchester United caused a lot of trouble for Manchester City through quick counterattacks.

They used speed and accurate passes to disrupt Manchester City's defense many times.

In the 76th minute, Manchester United launched another deadly quick counterattack. This counterattack was initiated by Juan Mata, the core midfielder of Manchester United.

Manchester City's attack in the frontcourt was intercepted by Manchester United. Fellaini intercepted De Bruyne's pass in the midfield and quickly passed the ball to Mata, who was in a forward position.

After receiving the ball, Mata quickly observed the situation in front and saw Rashford quickly inserted on the left.

He decisively sent a precise straight pass, and the ball passed through Manchester City's midfield defense and went straight to Rashford.

Manchester City's defense line responded quickly, and Demichelis and Mangala immediately returned to defense, trying to block Rashford's offensive route.

Right back Sagna also retreated quickly, hoping to block Rashford's breakthrough on the wing.

After receiving Mata's pass, Rashford used his speed and technology to advance quickly.

Facing Demichelis's defense, he made a one-on-one breakthrough without fear.

He first used a fake move to shake, then suddenly accelerated, forced through Demichelis's defense, and went straight into the penalty area.

At this time, Mangala tried to make up for the defense, but Rashford cleverly avoided Mangala's block with his personal ability and faced Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart directly.

He calmly observed Hart's position, then decisively kicked the ball, and the ball went straight to the lower left corner and flew into the goal accurately.

The score became 2-1, and Manchester United got back one city!

"Rashford! Wonderful breakthrough and goal! Manchester United changed the score to 2-1 through a quick counterattack! This is definitely a display of personal ability, Rashford's performance is really outstanding!"

"Great! Rashford's speed and technology are perfectly combined, and this counterattack is a textbook attack! Manchester United finally broke the deadlock, and it seems that they still have a chance!"

"Rashford is great! This ball is so beautiful!"

"Manchester United still has hope! Keep it up!"

"Mata's straight pass is too accurate, this is the counterattack that Manchester United should have!"

"Demichelis was fooled by Rashford!"

"Joe Hart can't do anything, this ball is really impeccable!"

With Rashford's goal, Manchester United coach Louis van Gaal saw the hope of equalizing or even winning.

So he quickly made substitutions, hoping to further suppress Manchester City through fresh blood.

Van Gaal first replaced the young winger Lingard with Juan Mata, who was a little exhausted.

Then, he sent in the experienced Schweinsteiger to enhance the midfield's control and organizational capabilities.

At the same time, Van Gaal also sent forward Rooney to replace Martial, hoping to use Rooney's experience and impact to create more offensive opportunities.

However, in order to defend this hard-won victory, Manchester City coach Guardiola also made personnel adjustments.

He replaced defensive midfielder Fernandinho to strengthen the defensive hardness and interception ability of the midfield.

At the same time, he also replaced Sterling, who was physically exhausted, with Sane to maintain the speed and impact of the wing.

With the substitutions and adjustments of both sides, the game entered a white-hot stage.

Driven by Rashford, Manchester United's offensive became more fierce, while Manchester City responded to Manchester United's attack through solid defense and fast counterattacks.

Manchester United's midfield was more stable under Schweinsteiger's organization, and Lingard and Rashford continued to create threats on both wings.

Rooney also actively fought in the frontcourt, trying to find a chance to score.

However, Manchester City's defense was more solid under the protection of Fernandinho, Demichelis and Mangala defended steadily, and Joe Hart also made several key saves.

Manchester City's counterattack was also very threatening, and the speed of Li Lei and Sane on the wing made Manchester United's defense dare not take it lightly.

De Bruyne and David Silva continued to dispatch in the midfield, creating opportunities for striker Aguero through precise passes and breakthroughs.

However, Manchester United's defense, led by Smalling and Blind, also performed very tenaciously.

Although both sides performed very perfectly in the transition between offense and defense, neither team scored again in the following game time.

Manchester United's multiple attacks were successfully resolved by Manchester City, and Manchester City's counterattacks failed to turn into goals.

In the end, as the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the score was fixed at 2:1.

Manchester City won this fierce derby, double-killing Manchester United in the league and winning the final victory in the derby.

In the live broadcast room, when the referee blew the whistle to end the game, Gao Yi said excitedly: "The game is over! Manchester City finally defeated Manchester United 2:1 and successfully defeated the opponent in the league! This was an intense and exciting game, and both sides showed a high level of attack and defense conversion."

"Manchester City's performance was very good. Their two goals in the first half laid the foundation for victory."

"Although Manchester United scored a goal in the second half through Rashford, they failed to equalize the score in the end."

"Congratulations to Manchester City for winning this derby!"

"Manchester City won! Great!"

"Manchester United tried hard in the final stage, but unfortunately they still lost."

"This derby was really exciting!"

"Guardiola's tactical adjustment was very timely, and Manchester City held on to the victory!"

"Manchester United still has a lot to improve, and I hope it will be better next time!"

In the stadium, Manchester City fans cheered and celebrated the victory, while Manchester United players seemed a little frustrated and disappointed.
