Marcus Rashford equalized in the 42nd minute and Atletico were one man down in first-half stoppage time when Nico Gonzlez was sent off for a second yellow card.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ue-c-article__subheadline\">7 point lead <\/h2>\n<p>Lewandowski&#8217;s goal went into the net after the ball hit him on the shoulder and goalkeeper Juan Muso saved the shot.<\/p>\n<p>The winning goal was almost a coincidence.
