Legendary Godfather

It was already 2-0 before half-time. The game went very smoothly. People in Crystal Palace felt that the EFL Cup championship was already within their grasp.

Unexpectedly, something happened before the end of the first half.

After Martial received the ball from the wing, he suddenly changed his direction and broke through horizontally. Then Kanter saw the opportunity at the front of the penalty area and stretched his legs to steal. Martial fell down in response and fell directly to the edge of the penalty area.

Kanter immediately reached out and shook his finger at Marriner, indicating that he did not touch Martial and it was a flop.

Unexpectedly, Marriner blew the whistle directly in his mouth and pointed to the location of the foul.

Marriner awarded a direct free kick from the edge of the penalty area.

This made Tong Yi very dissatisfied.

This is not a foul at all. This is Martial's diving. Why did we give Crystal Palace a foul?

Is this referee too biased towards Manchester United?

Tong Yi was speechless.

Crystal Palace fans also expressed their dissatisfaction, but this did not change the referee Marriner's penalty, which gave Manchester United a direct free kick.

This opportunity is a life-saving straw for Manchester United!

Manchester United people took this opportunity very seriously, with four players standing in front of the football.

Mourinho on the sidelines was also very concerned. This goal was very important for their Manchester United team.

beep!

Following a whistle, Martial took a quick run and shot a feint. Then Balot, who rushed up quickly, took off his foot and fired angrily, pulling out a powerful and heavy ground ball.

The ball was so fast that the Crystal Palace defenders were deceived and jumped up.

The football rolled quickly past his feet and into the lower right corner of the goal.

Alisson reacted quickly and did not touch the football.

One to two!

Manchester United scored a goal before the end of the first half to narrow the gap between the two teams.

To be honest, Tong Yi was very dissatisfied with this conceding goal.

Of course, he was not dissatisfied with the team's defense, but with the referee's decision. How could this ball be called a foul? Kanter didn't touch Martial at all on this ball!

And after the slow-motion replay, everyone can see clearly that Kante did not touch Martial on this ball. Of course, Martial did not fall. Martial stepped on his loose carry, then lost his balance and fell to the turf.

And Marriner thought that Kanter must have met Martial. You stepped on his shoelaces and said you didn't meet him?

This is really a miscalculation.

Tong Yi was really speechless.

After the second half of the game started, Manchester United became more active.

Obviously, the goal in the first half gave Manchester United a lot of confidence and passion. They believe that their Manchester United team has plenty of opportunities to easily equalize the score or even defeat Crystal Palace.
