Man Utd Women have six points from two games in the UEFA Women’s Champions League after a victory away to Atlético Madrid, where each side saw red.
Manchester United went ahead after Julia Zigiotti Olme’s cross was only cleared to the far post, from where Fridolina Rolfö lashed a volley into the roof of the net.
Dominique Janssen was cautioned for bringing down Gio – who had to be stretchered off – and after a VAR check the card was upgraded to red.
Before the break, United survived a goalmouth scramble and another VAR check, this time for handball.
The teams were down to ten each for the last quarter of an hour or so, as a second yellow card was shown to Alexia Fernández for taking down Leah Galton.
Melvine Malard put a good chance wide on a breakaway move, Galton made a crucial challenge to deny Garcia a late opportunity.
