UEFA YOUTH LEAGUE: BAYERN V UNITED

Manchester United were trounced 2-0 by Bayern Munich in our UEFA Youth League opening in Bavaria on Wednesday afternoonInformationGuideNigeria

Robert Ramsak and Michael Scott’s efforts late in each half were crucial in an entertaining game with plenty of goalmouth activity, with Bayern in command early on in the Bavarian sunshine.

Elyh Harrison was on hand to block right-back Vincent Manuba’s ferocious shot, with the rebound cleared, while no.9 Ramsak should have done better than redirect Kurt Ruger’s cross wide. As the home side piled on the pressure, playmaker Javier Fernandez fizzed a long-range shot over the bar.NYSC Portal

Bayern keeper Max Schmitt was called into action again in quick succession as United replied effectively, stopping Ethan Williams’ free-kick and turning an Ethan Wheatley effort away from goal after our no.84 seized on a defensive blunder.

But, just as Travis Binnion’s charges appeared to be heading into the break level, Ramsak escaped attention at the far post to convert Adam Aznou’s driving cross.

When the game resumed, Bayern were still upbeat, and Harrison had to make two impressive saves, first saving Aznou’s effort that was heading for the top corner, then blocking Fernandez’s low attempt with his feet.

United grew into the half as it proceeded, and replacement Victor Musa headed straight at Schmitt – he was then unlucky to see his drive diverted the wrong side of the Bayern goal following good work from Williams out wide on the right.JAMB Result

With 10 minutes remaining, Scott increased Bayern’s lead, looping the ball into the net beyond Harrison’s grasp.

Schmitt diverted Ruben Curley’s prodded effort on to the woodwork before denying a goalbound header from Louis Jackson to cap off a miserable afternoon for the youthful Reds.
