It upset me because the referee didn't apologise, and that was what triggered me in that moment," Fernandes told Sky Sports. "But that's not the excuse to missing the penalty. I just had a very bad hit on the ball. I got my foot too (much) under the ball, and that's why the ball went over the bar."Following the halftime break, Fernandes was seen in conversation with Kavanagh before play resumed. The match ultimately ended in a 1-1 draw.United manager Ruben Amorim observed that the missed penalty affected Fernandes's performance for the remainder of the game."He's not used to missing a penalty," Amorim said. "He knows the importance, that every moment in this context can have a huge impact in the team and I felt during the game he was not so happy. Not so involved because he has so much responsibility."
