Maya Le Tissier: United Women star rues costly errors in tie In spite of a brave effort, Manchester United Women fell to defeat in the first leg of their Champions League tie. The Red Devils fought back twice but finally succumbed to a 2-3 defeat to Bayern Munich at Old Trafford. Maya Le Tissier and Swede Hanna Lundkvist both managed to score for United, but it was not enough to secure a draw in the tie.
United’s captain and goalscorer spoke to the club’s media after the match. Early goal After conceding after just two minutes, Le Tissier reflected, “yeah, of course. It’s not ideal to concede so early on.
I thought we started the game really well and had a lot of the ball in the first couple of minutes. In that first defensive phase, we missed the press and allowed a run in behind me—so that’s on me as well. But to come back from behind twice shows the mentality in the squad, and we’ll definitely need that going forward.
” Le Tissier agreed that her side showed great character to come back against a side like Bayern twice, but was still caught up on how United conceded their goals. She explained, “yeah, I felt really involved in the game tonight. But honestly, I think we could’ve defended the goals much better.
