Man Utd cruise into quarters after win over Atletico | OneFootball

Manchester United have reached the Women’s Champions League quarter-finals in their debut campaign after completing a comfortable 5-0 aggregate victory over Atlético Madrid.

Holding a 3-0 advantage from the first leg in Spain, Marc Skinner’s side never looked in serious danger and sealed progression with a composed 2-0 win on the night.

Atlético knew they needed a fast start to revive any slim hopes, and Synne Jensen tested Phallon Tullis-Joyce early on. But once United struck, the contest was effectively over.

Julia Zigiotti Olme opened the scoring midway through the first half, calmly finishing after good work from Lisa Naalsund. Jess Park then put the tie beyond doubt before the interval, curling a superb effort into the top corner to cap an assured display.

Despite a bench limited by injuries, United remained in control throughout, with Atlético unable to replicate the intensity required to threaten a comeback. The visitors’ frustration was summed up late on when Xenia Perez was dismissed for a second booking.

United now advance to face Bayern Munich in the last eight, joining Arsenal and Chelsea as England’s representatives in the quarter-finals.
