Lisandro Martinez opened the scoring with a powerful strike just seven minutes into the second half, but Liverpool quickly equalized through Cody Gakpo. Mohamed Salah then put the hosts ahead with a penalty after a handball by Matthijs de Ligt. However, Amad Diallo ensured that the points were shared with a late goal for United.

In a dramatic finish, Joshua Zirkzee set up Maguire with just seconds remaining, but the defender fired the ball over the bar from close range. Following the match, Sky Sports pundits Roy Keane and Daniel Sturridge had a heated debate over whether Maguire should have converted the chance. Sturridge remarked, “Don’t bobble it into him, you’ve got all the time in the world,” while Keane emphasized, “Know your players, expect the bobble… You’ve got to hit the target, Harry.”

Despite the miss, United manager Ruben Amorim praised Maguire’s effort on the pitch. He stated, “For me, missing chances or playing badly with the ball is not the big issue. The most important thing is that Harry gave everything on the pitch.”
