Juan Mata: Missed penalty against Midtjylland
Mata missed a chance to put Manchester United into the aggregate lead against Midtjylland Thursday night when he missed a penalty with a soft shot that was saved by the keeper.
Analysis:
Mata was rescued by a top performance from Marcus Rashford on his debut, scoring twice. United advanced to the final 16 teams after being behind 2-1 on aggregate after the first match, but Mata's miss could have been much more damaging had the goals not started flowing later in the match.
