Drawn match.

AC Milan managed to win 1 to 1 in added time on Manchester United, when they met Thursday, March 11, in the round of 16 first leg of the Europa League.

In the other matches played at the end of the afternoon, Ajax Amsterdam easily won at home against the Young Boys of Bern (3-0), Villarreal went to win 2 to 0 on the field of Dynamo Kiev, and Slavia Prague and Glasgow Rangers could not decide (1-1).

Four other round of 16 first leg were played in the evening: AS Rome-Shakhtar Donetsk, Olympiakos-Arsenal, Tottenham-Dinamo Zagreb and Granada-Molde.

In Manchester, Dane Simon Kjaer equalized after two minutes of added time for the Italians, with a header below the bar after receiving a corner from Bosnian Rade Krunic.

Manchester had opened the scoring in the 50th minute, also with a header, by the Italian-Ivorian Amad Diallo, who lobbed the Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma on a magnificent opening of the Portuguese Bruno Fernades (50th).

Diallo had only been playing for five minutes, coming into play after the break in place of Anthony Martial.

Earlier, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men, reinvigorated by their 2-0 victory in the Manchester derby at City on Sunday, had come close to opening the scoring in the 39th minute.

But England captain Harry Maguire sent his recovery to the post, when he was alone a meter from goal at the far post.

For its part, Milan, second in its championship like Manchester elsewhere, was denied a goal that seemed quite valid, scored by the Ivorian Franck Kessié (12th).

But after watching the VAR, the Slovenian referee Slavko Vincic refused it for a fault of hand.

The meeting was played in particular without the injured Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Milan side, and Paul Pogba, English side, who should however be available for return on March 18 in San Siro.
