Manchester United overturns Roma to win 3-2 in Champions League
Manchester United secured a dramatic 3-2 comeback victory against AS Roma at Old Trafford during the fourth matchday of the Champions League league phase. Despite trailing 2-0 in the first half following goals from Matías Soulé and a Donyell Malen penalty, the Red Devils responded strongly in the second period.
Bruno Fernandes narrowed the deficit with a retaken penalty in the 58th minute. Matheus Cunha then became the hero, scoring twice in quick succession during the 83rd and 86th minutes to complete the turnaround. Although Cunha was sent off in stoppage time after receiving a second yellow card, United maintained their lead to end a nine-game winless streak.
The match was marked by intense atmosphere, including protests from home supporters against the club's ownership. Following the match, captain Bruno Fernandes addressed rumors of internal friction, stating that the team is focused on collective success rather than individual job security.
