Bruno Fernandes opened the scoring with a powerful shot in the 7th minute and Kobbie Mainoo extended the lead for Manchester United only six minutes later, which made the fans think that it would be a comfortable game for the Red Devils, who started to suffer in the clash due to their own defensive mistakes.

Newport County profited their chances to scare the Mancunian team at the last third of the first half through the goals of Bryan Morris in the 36th and Will Evans in the 47th, which equalized the game for the Ironsides and put Manchester United on the ropes while the fans of the Red Devils started to think about a horrible elimination.
