Cyriel Dessers scored a stunning goal

Rangers’ fans were still celebrating what they believed was a remarkable draw when Cyriel Dessers scored a stunning goal in the 88th minute. He struck a powerful shot from the edge of the box, sending the ball into the bottom corner to cancel out United’s opener. The late equalizer made a boundless celebration among the Rangers supporters, who thought their team had secured a hard-fought result.

However, their joy was short-lived as Bruno Fernandes quickly silenced them. He connected with Lisandro Martinez’s angled cross at the far post and struck a precise first-time shot through Jack Butland’s legs, restoring United’s lead.

The dramatic twist left Rangers’ fans in shock, while United supporters erupted in celebration. Watching from the directors’ box, legendary United manager and former Rangers striker Sir Alex Ferguson could only shake his head in amazement at the thrilling finale. The match delivered a rollercoaster of emotions, proving once again why football is so unpredictable.

The game won’t be remembered solely for Butland’s unlucky own goal. Attempting to clear Christian Eriksen’s 52nd-minute corner, he accidentally punched the ball into his own net, creating a moment of frustration for his team.

United showed great character just four days after head coach Ruben Amorim said they might be “the worst Manchester United team in history.”

For Rangers, it was a tough way to continue their streak of not winning away from Ibrox since December 8.

They are now in 13th place and need to beat Belgian team Union Saint-Gilloise at home next week. They also need other results to go their way to reach the last 16 directly.

They have already secured a spot in the knock-out round.

United, now in fourth place, will reach the last 16 if they win their away game against Romanian team FCSB.
