Manchester United’s Under-19s secured a courageous 2-2 draw with Benfica in the UEFA Youth League, coming from two goals down to earn a point at the Caixi Futebol Campus.
The Reds had previously beaten FC Basel and CSKA Moscow with relative ease, but faced a talented side on matchday three and fell two goals behind to strikes from Nuno Santos and Jose Gomes. Joshui Bohui then pulled one back from the penalty spot, before equalising with a superb solo effort.
There was a long stoppage of play in the sixth minute following a heavy challenge on Ethan Hamilton that left the midfielder needing urgent medical attention.
