Here is what happened…
Mane Soares scores winner for Manchester United
Thursday evening saw United beat Sunderland 1-0 in Ballymoney, which sends the Red Devils into the SuperCupNI Globe final on Friday.
It was Mane Soares who got the goal, with Jaice Dore picking up the assist, but Mane still had a lot to do.
Just outside the area, Mane hit it on the half-volley, which found the bottom corner as he placed it perfectly.
This was Mane’s first goal of the competition and was enough to put United into the final. Two assists and a goal for Mane in the tournament, and he has been really pleasing on the eye, so tricky, and one of the best players at this age.
It was a quiet day for Ben Lyne, who failed to continue his 100% record of scoring, despite having a couple of half-chances.
Who will Manchester United face in the final of the Super Cup NI Globe?
At the same time on Thursday evening, County Down took on Mexican side Tigres UANL for the chance to play in the Globe final with United.
Tigres beat Down 3-1 at Broughshane to progress into the final against this exciting United side on Friday.
United in Focus will have live coverage of the final on Friday evening, so keep an eye out for that.
