Manchester United fans could not believe their eyes. Tahith Chong, a 'Red Devils' striker, missed a chance at an open net. And to finish off, Astana drew the game with the next piece of game play.

Manchester United's situation is not to many people's liking, but the 'Red Devils' fans had their heads in their hands in a action that saw Astana end up equalising.

Solskjaer's team went into the second half 1-0 up when Tahith Chong was the protagonist of a very unlucky action. Gomes won the ball inside the area and gave the fast ball to the goalkeeper. And in the small area, an empty goal, with everything in his favour, the striker skied the ball wide! 

His bad luck resulted in a double punishment. Astana got the ball out of the goal and made the move to reach the Manchester United area, where Dimitriy Shomko beat the young Grant with a left-footed.

From the 2-0, the 1-1 draw came immediately. Another displeasure for a United that this campaign is not turning out to be suitable for cardiac. Chong's mistake will not be easy to forget.
