Match Events
5' Rashford misses a huge chance!
CHANCE! Lingard plays a wonderful through-ball from inside of his own half which runs all the way through for Rashford. Von Ballmoos comes out to meet Rashford on the edge of the Young Boys penalty area, but Rashford’s chip just goes over the bar. Bright start.
15' CHANCE! Rashford's shot saved
After some quick play in midfield, Fellaini is able to flick the ball around the corner on the edge of the Young Boys penalty area and into the path of Rashford. The Englishman’s left-footed shot from the left side of the area is easily saved by Von Ballmoos.
26' CLOSE! Rashford's shot inches wide of post
CHANCE! After receiving the ball from Smalling, Lingard flicks it around the corner and perfectly into the feet of Rashford. The Englishmen’s right-footed strike from the edge of the box just goes wide of the far post. Von Ballmoos looked worried by that effort.
57' CHANCE! Fellaini's shot wide out
CHANCE! Somehow Fellaini manages to miss from only a matter of yards with a right-footed volley. Martial’s strike from the edge of the box is deflected into the air and Von Ballmoos is unable to deal with it due to the pressure from Rashford. The ball drops to Fellaini who is only a few yards out and he somehow volleys well over the bar. Von Ballmoos will be a relieved man. Golden opportunity.
70' What a save from De Gea off the goal line!
90+1' Goal! Man Utd 1-0 Young Boys (Fellaini)
GOAL! Fellaini opens the scoring with only minutes to go! Shaw, from the left-hand side, swings in a wonderful cross from deep which Lukaku nods onto Fellaini who is able to expertly control the pass. The Belgian is able to turn inside the box and fire the ball low into the bottom right corner of the net. Van Ballmoos stood no chance with that one. 1-0.
Match Report
Manchester United secured their place in the last 16 of the Champions League as Marouane Fellaini sealed a 1-0 win over Young Boys with a goal in second-half stoppage time.
Jose Mourinho's side had laboured throughout the game against the Swiss champions at Old Trafford and looked set for a second consecutive goalless draw at home until Fellaini's smart finish.

I have supported ManU for over sixty years from the days when footballers made only twenty pounds a week. These days we have millionaires playing for billionaire owners but the players seem less motivated than in the days of Duncan Edwards before the Munich plane crash disaster. Attitude is the key. When you have guys like Pogba strolling around and not really caring for the club or the fans it affects the whole team’s morale.

All hail Lord Fellaini, I imagine big Mou is having a party now cos his boy just scored. Now Mou will start Fellaini every game with Mata and Fred and other actually effective players as permanent bench warmers lol. But legit another marginal escape for Man U. They're defo out in the round of 16. The same luck they had last year, they're also having this year and then when they met Sevilla, their luck ran out..

I still and will always think Fellaini is a very limited player with very physical attributes and lesser technical ability, and all (most) of you feel the same. But this guy scores when nothing else is working and I must admit: he always plays for the badge and that's what matters more. Thanks Lord Fellaini. Ps: the football and particularly our performance in our front third was appalling to the eye, yet again. though my loyalty for united is non negotiable, I'm tired of dreaming for a novel, fresh and paradigm tactical change in the system of football that we play. we better do it sooner or later before our legendary and prestigious club goes into obscurity.
