Manchester United added some spark to their lackluster season with victory in the FA Cup final. This put a damper on their city rivals City, who only saw a poor first half as the result of substitute Jeremy Doku: 1-2. Kevin De Bruyne was replaced.
The FA Cup Final in a nutshell
- Key moment
At half the hour there is a misunderstanding in City’s defence. Gvardiol returns to the next goalkeeper Ortega and Jarnacho takes advantage. Then the city falls behind.
- Man of the match
Kobbie Mainoo was indispensable to United’s tactical plan and was inexhaustible defensively. He also made the smart 0-2.
- distinct
A thirteenth FA Cup win saves Manchester United’s season to some extent. It also gives United a European ticket to the Europa League, which would not have been possible through the competition.
A dramatic first half breaks City apart
In a re-release of last year’s final, the picture of the match quickly became clear: Manchester City attacked patiently, and Manchester United relied on their organization and relied on counter-attacks.
That plan made perfect sense. Kevin De Bruyne, Phil Foden and Bernardo Silva were unable to press much and City were a gift in defence. A misunderstanding between Gvardiol and goalkeeper Ortega was exploited by Jarnacho: 0-1.
The goal gave United confidence, leading to the score 0-2. After a brilliant attack and a wonderful assist from Fernandes, Kobe Maino doubled United’s lead.
City did not find the equalizer until a few minutes before the end. Substitute Jeremy Doku found an opening at the short corner for 1-2. Before that, Haaland had already hit the crossbar and Alvarez had a shot wide.
De Bruyne sat on the bench to watch the match for half an hour. He saw how his teammates did not exceed the equalizer; Much to the delight of everyone wearing red at Wembley.
For United coach Erik Ten Hag, the trophy is a huge boost. It also gives Manchester United a European ticket, which would not have been possible by competing beyond eighth place. Let’s wait and see if Ten Hag can save his skin, because after the worst season in the last 34 years, his C4 looks ready.
