He Manchester United of Lisandro Martinez and Alejandro Garnacho won this afternoon by 1 to 0 Fulham in the opening match of the season of the Premier League at home at Old Trafford.
The only goal of the match was scored by the Netherlands youth player Joshua Zirkzee. Argentines Martínez and Garnacho had minutes: the defender was a starter and played the entire match, while the forward came on in the 16th minute.
The home side started the first half better, with Kobbie Mainoo and Casemiro in the middle of the pitch to stop Fulham’s advances and Diallo moving around on the right flank, although he was subdued when it came to threatening the opposition’s goal.
The Swiss goalkeeper of the London team stood out with two saves from the Portuguese Bruno Fernandes very close to the six-yard box that could have given United the lead but nothing more, as he retreated quite a bit to avoid the home team’s counterattacks.
By the second stage they became noticeable. Zirkzee and Garnacho entered the game: the first, after a cross from the right by the young Argentine, the Dutchman deflected the ball with his left foot for 1-0 and United’s only goal.
