Summary Manchester United played a 2-2 draw against Japanese club Cerezo Osaka in a preseason friendly.

 

OSAKA, Japan (AP) - Wilfried Zaha scored in the first minute of stoppage time Friday to give Manchester United a 2-2 draw with Japanese club Cerezo Osaka in a preseason friendly.

 

Zaha tapped into an open net to ensure the English champions didn t lose their second preseason match in Japan under David Moyes. Yokohama F Marinos beat United 3-2 on Tuesday.

 

Cerezo forward Kenyu Sugimoto took advantage of a defensive mistake by United defender Chris Smalling to give his team the lead in the 33rd minute.

 

Shinji Kagawa was denied on a penalty kick in the 53rd by Cerezo goalkeeper Kim Jin-hyeon, but equalized one minute later, taking a pass from Ryan Giggs and beating Kim from close range.

 

Cerezo briefly regained the lead on a goal by Takumi Minamino in the 63rd.
