Atlético Madrid and Manchester United faced each other this Wednesday (23) and the match was close throughout the 90 minutes, ending as a draw by one ball.

The first goal of the match was scored by João Félix at the 7th minute of play. The opponent only came to equalize the score in the 80th minute, through Elanga.

However, the biggest highlight goes to the Mozambican international, Reinildo Mandava, who, on the defensive wing of Atlético de Madrid, fought fierce duels worthy of recognition against the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo (CR7), who had no chance to break through the net of the Colchoneros.

In fact, in the usual post-match press conference, Atlético de Madrid coach Diego Pablo Simeone acknowledged and praised Reinildo Mandava's performance during the 90 minutes of the match.

This was Mandava's first game as a starter in the European Champions League for the Colchoneros. But the Mozambican defender had already played in this competition for Lille of France.

Manchester United and Atlético de Madrid meet again on March 15 at Old Trafford, England, for the second leg of the Champions League round of 16.
