They created several chances in the first half as Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro made bright starts in midfield. The former played a short corner to Marcus Rashford, who saw his curling attempt saved by Francis Uzoho. It was the first of many saves made by the Nigerian international. Uzoho made two sharp stops midway through the first period to deny Rashford, showing great agility and awareness. Casemiro was arguably the closest to putting Manchester United in front as his shot rattled the crossbar from 25 yards out. The Brazilian had another opportunity to score as Fernandes delivered the perfect free-kick. He put his header wide despite being unmarked inside the box. Manchester United attempted a staggering 15 shots in the first half but only four were on target. Uzoho did well to keep Omonia in the game going into the break with his exploits in goal.

The Nigerian did well to deny Antony's curling effort and then made a sharp stop to deny Rashford from close range. Omonia were on the back-foot as Manchester United continued to create goalscoring opportunities. Fred broke into the box following a threaded pass by Fernandes and fired a shot straight at the goalkeeper. Ronaldo was the first to get to the rebound but Uzoho did well to thwart his attempt and gather the ball. The custodian then required medical treatment as he landed awkwardly while making a save. Uzoho did not let that bother him as he made two more saves to keep Omonia in the game. He denied Ronaldo with a sharp stop midway through the second period, before diving in to save a shot from Scott McTominay in the closing stages. Manchester United were denied 12 times by Uzoho, who put in a fantastic performance. He was given a 9.9 rating by Sofascore for his exceptional display.
