Bournemouth’s triumph was fully deserved, as they demonstrated excellent coordination and successfully executed counter-attacks throughout the game. Bournemouth successfully scored their first goal at the 5th minute of the match.

Lewis Cook’s effective pressing results in him successfully intercepting the ball and delivering a precise cross to Solanke, who expertly places it into the corner of the net. The visiting supporters are filled with joy and excitement.
38′ – BOURNEMOUTH NEARLY SECURES A SECOND GOAL! McTominay loses possession and Cook swiftly transfers it to Solanke, who unluckily strikes the post with his right foot. Unfortunate circumstances for Bournemouth. 68′ – BOURNEMOUTH SCORES! (BILLING) Billing, who came in as a substitute, confidently heads the ball into the net’s corner from Tavernier’s precise pass. Bournemouth is now in a 2-0 lead. What an incredible goal.
73′ – BOURNEMOUTH SECURES THEIR THIRD GOAL (SENESI) Senesi outjumps his opponent and skillfully guides his header towards the opposite side of the goal, finding the net flawlessly. Onana has no chance. It appears that Manchester United’s chances of winning are slim to none. In the 92nd minute, an additional goal is scored, however, it is not counted. Solanke disrupts the game and Ouattara successfully puts the ball into the net, but it is invalidated due to Onana’s handball. This ruling appears to be overly strict.
