Fernandes hat-trick seal a quarterfinal place

Bruno Fernandes scored a hat-trick while Manchester United came from three penalties to advance in the Europa League quarterfinals with a 4-1 victory over Real Sociedad.

Last week he fought for a 1-1 draw in San Sebastián, United lag behind when Mikel Oyarzabal turned into 10 minutes.

But Judge Benoit Bastien and Var played a major role as United turned him down thanks to a couple of almost identical Fernandes penalties.

Bastien then left the side of Laliga with the mountain to climb when Jon Aramburu showed a straight red card in the 63rd minute, and the task of Uzhrdo showed too much for the Basque side, as Fernandes completed his high tower, and Diogo added the fourth Dalot that he was late for reserving the last e-stroke meetings with Lyon.

Bruno Fernandes gets his hat-trick!

Manchester United VS Real Sociedad

Sociedad was awarded a bright start in the 10th minute when Oyarzabal scored the second time in a tie, cold in the lower right corner, because after a long check, Bastien went to the monitor and ruled that Matthijs de Ligt had dropped him.

But United responded excellently and straightened from the place when Fernandes was aligned with Oyarzabal’s slowness after Igor Zubeldi’s offense on Rasmus H

United’s equalizer significantly raised his mood at Old Trafford and started a party and opened the first half, although the one who finished without any goalkeeper again tested.

However, United ended the turn of five minutes in the second half. Alex Remiro could only turn Joshua Zirkzee into the path of Patrick Dorgua, who collided with Aritz Elustondo.

Bastien paused before he eventually pointed to the place and, while Fernandes had to withstand a long -lasting wait before Var supported what seemed suspicious, he once again kept cold to turn what was almost a carbon copy of his first penalty, and this one went to Remir’s left left.

Aramburo was discharged when he overthrew the impressive Dorga and was crucial that he was the last man. This removed Sociedad from the equation as a serious threat, and United made a hay by adding a shine to the result.

Zirkzee was denied from close range before he started wide, and United canceled the award for third sentence after he moved to Dorg to the area.

But Fernandes limited his instrumental display with his third when he released on the right side of the area and focused outside Remiro, and Dalot then finished a rare beautiful night for United this season by hitting home in the 9th minute.
