Dortmund also began to try to play some counterattacks.

Jaden Malik Sancho's speed and dribbling skills made Manchester United's defenders dare not take it lightly. In a counterattack, Jaden Malik Sancho used his speed to get rid of Theo Fernandez's defense. His feet were like stepping on a wind and fire wheel, quickly crossing the grass. Then he passed the ball to Marco Reus.

Marco Reus showed his superb ball control skills in the midfield, and he dribbled past Marco Verratti's defense. His body turned lightly, his feet made all kinds of dazzling movements on the ball, with a confident smile on his face. Then he passed it straight and found Paco Alcacer.

At this time, Manchester United fans held their breath nervously. When they saw David De Gea holding the ball, they breathed a sigh of relief and then burst into warm applause.

The game continued, and Manchester United's siege was still fierce.

Bruno Fernandes got a free kick opportunity at the front of the penalty area. He stood in front of the ball with a firm look in his eyes, and the eyes of the whole audience were focused on him. He lowered his head slightly, adjusted his breathing, and then ran up and kicked, and the ball flew towards the goal with a strong rotation. Roman Birki made a desperate save, but the ball hit the crossbar and bounced out, and Manchester United fans once again made a sound of regret. Some fans covered their faces with their hands, unable to bear to watch, while others waved their fists to cheer for the team.

Dortmund's defensive players were stubbornly resisting Manchester United's attack. They kept blocking Manchester United players' shots with their bodies and disrupting Manchester United's offensive coordination with tackles. Julian Weigl chased back in a defensive move, stealing the ball from Marcus Rashford and defusing a threatening attack by Manchester United.

Romelu Lukaku kept physically confronting Dortmund defenders in the penalty area, and his strength made them suffer. In an attack, he received a pass from Bruno Fernandes and used his strong body to push Manuel Akanji away. With his eyes glaring forward and a roar coming from his mouth, he turned and shot, but unfortunately the ball was saved by Roman Birki. Seeing this scene, some fans jumped up excitedly, while others sighed helplessly.

Raphael Guerrero also tried to cause some trouble for Manchester United's defense on the left. His cross was of high quality, which brought some pressure to Manchester United's defense. However, Theo Fernandez and Raphael Varane's defense was very solid, and they successfully resolved Dortmund's cross threat.

As time went on, the game had been going on for more than 20 minutes, and Manchester United's offense still hadn't scored a goal. But their offensive momentum did not weaken, and the players kept running and interweaving on the field, looking for the best offensive opportunities. They had anxious expressions on their faces, but their eyes were still full of desire for goals. The fans in the stands did not give up, and their cheers never stopped. The shouts of "Manchester United, don't give up!" echoed in the stadium for a long time.

Although Dortmund's players were under great pressure in defense, their spirit was still very tenacious. Axel Witsel's interception and organization in the midfield became more and more obvious, and he continued to provide support for his teammates. With a resolute expression on his face, he inspired his teammates around him with encouraging words from time to time.

In an attack, Manchester United midfielders Marco Verratti, Bruno Fernandez, Rodrigo Hernandez and others pushed the ball to the front of Dortmund's penalty area through a series of wonderful short passes.

Bruno Fernandez once again showed his offensive talent. He made a wonderful straight pass and found Marcus Rashford who was advancing at high speed. Marcus Rashford faced Dortmund goalkeeper Roman Birki and calmly chose to lob the ball. His eyes were fixed on the ball with a confident smile on his face, but unfortunately the ball was slightly higher than the crossbar.

When the fans saw this scene, some sighed loudly, while others shook their heads silently.

The game came to the 30th minute, and Manchester United's siege of Dortmund continued. The two sides launched a fierce contest on the court.

The game was in the 34th minute, and the situation on the field was still stalemate. Dortmund's attack came like a tide, and striker Paco Alcacer found a good opportunity. He shot the ball as fast as a cheetah. At that moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the rapidly spinning football. Manchester United's goalkeeper David De Gea was like an insurmountable mountain at this time. He stared at the direction of the ball with a sharp gaze.

At the moment the ball flew to the front of the goal, David De Gea reacted quickly and confiscated Paco's shot steadily with an extremely stretched movement. This series of actions was like flowing water, and it was done in one go.

David De Gea knew that time was an opportunity. He did not hesitate at all. He held the ball tightly with both hands, and threw the ball with a strong hand, accurately giving the ball to Theo Fernandez who was running forward at high speed on the left.

Theo Fernandez was like an arrow from a string. After receiving the ball, he rushed to the midfield with the ball at lightning speed. His feet seemed to be integrated with the ball, and every touch was just right. Under the pressure of Dortmund players, he cleverly protected the ball, and then passed the ball to Marco Verratti who was waiting near the midfield like a snake.

Marco Verratti's ball control skills are unique. His feet are like a smart elf, dancing on the ball. After receiving the ball, he slightly lowered his center of gravity, scanned the situation in front of him with sharp eyes, and then steadily moved forward with the ball.

At this time, right back Ashraf Hakimi was like a red lightning, high forward. His speed was dazzling, as if a whirlwind blew on the court. Marco Verratti understood, and at the most appropriate time, he passed the ball to Ashraf Hakimi's feet with a perfect pass.

After receiving the ball, Ashraf Hakimi rushed into the penalty area like a tiger descending from a mountain. He only had the goal in his eyes, with an unstoppable momentum. Facing Dortmund's defender Marius Wolf, Ashraf Hakimi showed superb skills. He first made a fake move to shift Marius Wolf's center of gravity, and then slid past Marius Wolf like a loach.

Then, another Dortmund defender Manuel Akanji rushed up and tried to block his attack. Ashraf Hakimi was not afraid at all. He used his excellent ability to change direction and passed Manuel Akanji again.

At this time, he was facing goalkeeper Roman Bilki. At this critical moment, Ashraf Hakimi calmly chose to lob the ball, and the football was like a beautiful arc, passing over Roman Bilki's head and flying into the goal.

1:0! The moment the goal was scored, the whole Old Trafford Stadium was boiling.

Manchester United fans cheered wildly, their voices were like waves, one wave higher than the other. Fans waved their flags, jumped excitedly, their faces were filled with joy and pride. Ashraf Hakimi was surrounded by his teammates, with a bright smile on his face. The players of Dortmund looked frustrated, they shook their heads helplessly, and their hearts were full of reluctance.

After losing the first goal, Dortmund seemed like an enraged lion, and began to frantically strengthen the attack.

Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea stood in front of the goal, his eyes as sharp as a hawk, staring closely at every move on the court. He bent his knees slightly, his hands drooped naturally, ready to make a save at any time. When Dortmund striker Paco Alcacer suddenly started and rushed into the penalty area like a cheetah, David De Gea's nerves instantly tensed up. He gritted his teeth and shouted in his heart: "I will never let you succeed!" Paco Alcacer kicked the ball and it flew towards the goal like a cannonball. De Gea reacted like lightning, his body suddenly pounced to one side, his hands stretched to the extreme, holding the ball tightly like an iron clamp.

This save was wonderful, and the Manchester United fans in the stands suddenly burst into deafening cheers. "De Gea! De Gea!" The fans waved their red scarves, and some fans stood on the chairs excitedly, their faces full of excitement and pride.

Seeing this scene, Manchester United coach Mourinho on the sidelines jumped up excitedly, waving his fist vigorously, with a gratified smile on his face, and shouted loudly to the players on the field: "Hold it! That's it!".

Dortmund coach Lucien Favre frowned, crossed his arms, paced back and forth, and muttered, "What a pity, it was just a little bit short."

At this time, the grass on the field was broken by the players' feet.The referee stood in the right position, observing the situation on the field with sharp eyes, nodded slightly, and recognized that this was a normal save.

Central defenders Raphael Varane and Ruben Dias stood at the forefront of the defense line like two solid fortresses. When Dortmund midfielder Jaden Malik Sancho broke through the defense line like a flash of lightning, Raphael Varane's eyes were fixed on Sancho, his eyes were blazing, and he shouted: "Damn it, leave it to me, I'll stop him!" As he said that, he stomped his feet hard, clenched his fists, and his feet moved alternately quickly, rushing towards Jaden Malik Sancho like a cheetah.

At the moment of approaching Jaden Malik Sancho, Raphael Varane slightly lowered his body center of gravity and blocked Jaden Malik Sancho's way with his strong chest. At the same time, his right foot quickly stretched out and intercepted the ball cleanly. After intercepting the ball, Raphael Varane shouted excitedly: "Huh, it's not that easy to think of me!" He waved his fist and quickly passed the ball to his teammate next to him, and did not forget to say: "Quick, counterattack!"

Ruben Dias was always alert next to him, his eyes scanning the surrounding situation like a radar. When Dortmund's players launched another attack, Ruben Dias blocked the ball like a wall. He nailed his feet firmly to the ground, his body straight, his eyes firm, and said with a little anger: "I see what you can do!" He opened his arms, and when the opponent's player kicked the ball, Ruben Dias did not hesitate to use his chest to block the ball out of the baseline.

This block resolved a crisis, and the Manchester United fans in the stands cheered again. "Varane! Dias! You are the best!" The voices of the fans echoed in the stadium, and the cheers continued to echo in the empty stadium, as if they could ignite the surrounding air.
