Viktoria Plzen 1-2 Manchester United: Hojlund Shines in European Turnaround

Rasmus Hojlund Inspires First European Away Win in 20 Months for Manchester United

Manchester United ended their European away drought in dramatic fashion, defeating Viktoria Plzen 2-1 thanks to a stellar performance from substitute Rasmus Hojlund. The victory, their first on foreign soil in Europe since March 2023, came after a challenging match in the freezing conditions of Bohemia.

Match Highlights

  1. Early Shock for United
    Viktoria Plzen capitalized on a mistake by United goalkeeper Andre Onana to take the lead early in the second half. Former Burnley striker Matej Vydra intercepted a poor pass, coolly slotting the ball home in the 48th minute.
  2. Game-Changing Substitutions
    Manager Ruben Amorim responded decisively, replacing an underperforming Marcus Rashford with Rasmus Hojlund. The Danish striker made an immediate impact, scoring a poacher’s goal after excellent setup play from Amad Diallo in the 62nd minute.
  3. Decisive Finish
    United sealed the win in the 88th minute with a clever set-piece routine. Bruno Fernandes delivered a disguised free-kick, allowing Hojlund to spin and fire past Plzen’s goalkeeper Martin Jedlicka, ensuring a vital three points for the Red Devils.

Key Performances

  • Rasmus Hojlund (8/10): The standout player, Hojlund turned the tide with two critical goals, cementing his role as United’s hero of the night.
  • Amad Diallo (8/10): Instrumental in the build-up to the equalizer, showcasing creativity and composure under pressure.
  • Bruno Fernandes (7/10): The orchestrator in midfield, his pinpoint assist for the winner highlighted his vision and precision.
  • Andre Onana (4/10): Struggled with decision-making, gifting Plzen their goal, but will hope to bounce back in the next fixture.

Manager’s Perspective

Ruben Amorim reflected on the match:
“We lacked speed and movement in the first half but improved significantly. The substitutes made a huge difference, particularly Rasmus [Hojlund], who was decisive tonight. Mistakes happen in football, but it’s about how we respond—and the team showed great resilience.”

Looking Ahead
