  • The Manchester United midfielder was yellow-carded in the first half for a foul before being booked again in the 70th minute for talking back to German referee Sven Jablonski.
  • However, he remained on the pitch, with ITV commentator Sam Matterface initially saying the fourth official had rescinded the yellow card.
  • Ugarte was shortly substituted by manager Marcelo Bielsa and was replaced by Emiliano Martínez.
