In Manchester United's home Champions League match, Bruno Fernandes took a penalty, but his first effort was saved by goalkeeper Devis Vasquez, who dived to his right. Referee Jesus Gil Manzano decided to retake the penalty after a VAR review showed that Bryan Cristante had entered the penalty area before the kick.

The penalty had been awarded at the start of the second half, after Gianluca Mancini fouled Matheus Cunha. Roma were 2-0 up at the time.

After the save, Cristante was the first to reach the ball, and the change of decision became inevitable. For the second kick, Fernandes again shot to Vasquez's right. This time the ball went closer to the top corner, and the keeper dived the wrong way.

Vasquez made his first official appearance in a Roma shirt. Milan Svilar has been out of action for weeks, and backup goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini suffered a back problem on the morning of the match.
