They managed to create a couple of big chances, indicating periods of sustained pressure. The Hammers' ability to move the ball into the opposition's half was evident, though converting this territorial advantage into clear-cut scoring opportunities proved a challenge against a well-organized Manchester United defence. The visitors, meanwhile, focused on a disciplined defensive shape, aiming to stifle West Ham's build-up.

In the latter stages, West Ham United intensified their efforts, pushing for a decisive moment.
