Manchester City beats Manchester United to win FA Cup – 03/06/2023 – Sport

Manchester City had two beautiful goals from the German Gündogan to beat Manchester United in the FA Cup final, the FA Cup. At Wembley Stadium, in London, on Saturday afternoon (3), the blue team won the “Derby” by 2-1.

It was City’s seventh title in the competition. And the second trophy raised in the season by the team led by Pep Guardiola, who also triumphed in the Premier League. There’s still one game to go, though, and that’s the most important thing.

Next weekend, the team controlled by the royal family of the United Arab Emirates will seek what is their main objective, the Champions League. The final against Inter Milan is scheduled for Saturday (10), at the Atatürk Olympic Stadium, in Istanbul, Turkey.

It will be the chance to obtain the triple crown, possible because of the triumph over Manchester United. A triumph that began to be built 12 seconds into the first half, when Gündogan was left a few steps from the area and hit a beautiful shot.

It is the fastest goal on record in the finals of the tournament, which had its first edition in 1871/72 and is the oldest in football still in dispute. But the bid did not make the classic easy, which was tied in the initial stage.

In dispute for the ball from above, Grealish touched it with his hand, and the penalty was awarded with the help of the video. Bruno Fernandes scored from underneath, in the right corner, in the 33rd minute, and equalized the score.

The move that defined the score occurred six minutes into the second half. After Kevin de Bruyne’s corner kick, Gündogan hit the first time, from the half moon, without letting the ball bounce, and returned to swing the net.

City had chances to extend, but also saw United get very close to the draw. In addition, Varane hit the crossbar, and McTominay almost took advantage of the rebound. He didn’t take advantage, and Guardiola’s charges celebrated once again.
