As the game progressed, Manchester United gradually took control of the situation on the field. The cooperation between Nico Williams, Marco Verratti and Dani Olmo in the midfield became more and more tacit, and they continued to create opportunities for the forward line. Porto faced huge pressure on the defensive end.
In the 15th minute of the game, Manchester United's Theo Fernandez keenly observed the position of midfielder Dani Olmo and passed the ball accurately without hesitation. The football drew a beautiful arc in the air and landed steadily at Dani Olmo's feet.
After Dani Olmo received the ball, his eyes revealed firmness and courage. He gently touched the football under his feet, feeling its rolling and rhythm. In an instant, he broke forward with the ball like an arrow from a string. His speed was as fast as lightning, which caught Porto's midfield defender Sergio Oliveira off guard. With his superb skills, Dani Olmo flexibly changed direction and accelerated, keeping the ball firmly under his feet.
Seeing this, Porto midfielder Hector Herrera rushed forward to defend. He stared at Dani Olmo intently, trying to stop him with his body and defensive skills. However, is Dani Olmo so easy to be blocked? He cleverly used feints, faked a shot, and then quickly flashed past Hector Herrera. Hector Herrera could only watch Dani Olmo's back as he went away, his heart full of helplessness.
After getting rid of Hector Herrera's defense, Dani Olmo continued to move forward. His eyes were like torches, scanning the entire court. At this time, he saw Edinson Cavani's running position.
At this time, Edinson Cavani was like a cheetah, shuttling through the opponent's defense line, looking for the best offensive opportunity. Dani Olmo passed the ball to him without hesitation. The football spun rapidly in the air and landed accurately at Edinson Cavani's feet.
After Edinson Cavani received the ball, he immediately felt the pressure from the opponent's defense. Porto defenders Maximiliano Perreira and Felipe Augusto quickly surrounded him and tried to kill his attack in the cradle.
However, Edinson Cavani was not afraid at all. With his rich experience and skills, he calmly observed the opponent's defensive layout. He made a fake move to Porto's full-back Maximiliano Perreira, who was fooled and his body involuntarily tilted to one side. Edinson Cavani seized the opportunity, changed direction quickly, and flashed past him.
Then, Porto defender Felipe Augusto rushed up again. Edinson Cavani was not in a hurry. He used a clever pull to pass the ball between the opponent's legs, and then accelerated again, successfully shaking Felipe Augusto's defense.
At this time, the only one left in front of Edinson Cavani was Porto's goalkeeper Igor Casillas. Igor Casillas quickly approached Edinson Cavani, trying to block his shooting angle. However, Edinson Cavani was not intimidated by Igor Casillas's reputation. He calmly adjusted his pace, then aimed at the lower right corner of the goal and pushed the ball decisively. The football flew towards the goal like a cannonball.
Igor Casillas reacted quickly and made the correct save almost as soon as Edinson Cavani shot, but the ball was too fast and the shooting angle was too tricky. He could only watch the ball go into the net. 1:0, Manchester United took the lead.

Other teammates also ran over, their steps were firm and powerful, as if they were running to a glorious event.
Edinson Cavani stood there, panting slightly, and his jersey was soaked with sweat. His eyes were fixed on the football in the goal, as if he was still savoring the wonderful moment just now. And when he heard the shouts of his teammates and saw them rushing towards him like a tide, a bright smile appeared on his face. This smile was full of the joy of victory and the satisfaction of the team's efforts.
The teammates quickly gathered around and surrounded Edinson Cavani tightly in the middle. They hugged each other, clapped their hands, cheered, and released their inner excitement. Everyone's face was filled with unconcealable joy.
After the restart, Porto, who had lost the first goal, stepped up their pressing in the midfield, trying to disrupt Manchester United's offensive rhythm. Hector Herrera and Sergio Oliveira ran actively in the midfield, constantly putting pressure on Manchester United's players. However, Manchester United's midfielders were not affected by their pressing, but continued to remain calm and confident.
In the 25th minute of the game, Manchester United defender Ashraf Hakimi, a player known for his speed and defensive ability, focused on Porto striker Vincent Aboubakar.
At the moment when Vincent Aboubakar was about to receive the ball and launch an attack, Ashraf Hakimi struck like lightning. He accurately judged the landing point of the ball, and with his quick reaction and excellent defensive skills, he successfully intercepted Vincent Aboubakar's ball.

At this time, midfielder Marco Verratti entered his sight, and then passed the ball without hesitation. The football drew a beautiful arc in the air and landed accurately at Marco Verratti's feet.
After Marco Verratti received the ball, he gently touched the football under his feet, feeling its rolling and rhythm. His eyes revealed confidence and calmness. Suddenly he took a deep breath, then kicked hard and sent a precise long pass to the feet of striker Erling Haaland.
Erling Haaland was ready to receive the ball. He stood like a tower in front of Porto's defense. When the football flew over, he jumped high and stopped the ball steadily at his feet. Seeing this, Porto defender Eder Militao hurried forward to defend. He was seen sticking closely to Erling Haaland, trying to stop Erling Haaland's attack with his body and defensive skills.
However, Erling Haaland was not so easy to be blocked? With his strong physical advantage, he held off Eder Militao's defense, then steadily controlled the football under his feet, looking for a chance to shoot.
Erling Haaland slightly turned sideways, observing the position of Porto's goal with the corner of his eye. He saw the space in the upper left corner of the goal, and immediately had an idea in his mind. He turned quickly and then shot hard.
The football went straight to the upper left corner of the goal like a meteor. The speed was so fast that it was dazzling.
