By the seventy-fifth minute, the numerical disadvantage had started costing United physically rather than just tactically.
Garnacho got back for one Copenhagen attack but closed Jelert a half-step slower than he had in the first half. Bruno reached Falk a beat late on another possession. McTominay spent longer beside the center-backs, worn down by defending far more ground than his position usually asked of him. Højlund's pressing runs stayed committed, but the recovery afterward had visibly slowed.
Demien noticed it before anyone needed to point it out, and started positioning himself earlier to cover for it.
Copenhagen tried a cutback toward Falk. Demien intercepted, and rather than smash it clear, he turned out with it.
Bardghji counterpressed immediately. Another Copenhagen shirt arrived a step behind him.
