The match saw several substitutions and tactical shifts. For Manchester United, Lacey replaced Mbeumo, and Amass came on for De Ligt. Zirkzee also came on for Bruno Fernandes, who reportedly reacted with frustration to his substitution by punching the bench.
Como also made changes, bringing on Ricci, Dossens, and Smolcic for Nico Paz, Perrone, and Yan Couto. Later, Kaiki Bruno replaced Da Cunha, Caqueret came on for Baturina, and Zirkzee entered the game for Manchester United.
