A wave of relief passed through the Manchester United supporters as the referee's whistle ended the half.
Nobody would have called it relief out loud, not after going ahead first, but the break had arrived at a welcome moment.
Around the stadium, supporters began filtering away from their seats.
Some headed toward the concourses for food and drinks.
Others walked around, stretching their legs after forty-five minutes of being on their feet.
Down in the away dressing room, Leo dropped onto one of the benches and immediately reached for a bottle of water.
He unscrewed it and drank.
Then drank some more.
By the time he lowered it, almost half was gone.
Seeing this, a medical staff member nearby reached over and took it from his hand.
"Easy."
Leo looked at him and then watched the bottle!
"You want to feel your ribs burst when we go back out?" the staff said as Leo glanced down at himself, then gave a tired sigh.
