  • Manchester United triumphed over Manchester City with a 2-1 victory in the FA Cup final at Wembley
  • Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo scored for United, while Jeremy Doku’s late goal for City wasn’t enough to turn the tide
  • This win secures Manchester United’s 13th FA Cup title, highlighting Erik ten Hag’s successful leadership

In a thrilling all-Manchester FA Cup final at Wembley, Manchester United emerged victorious over Manchester City with a 2-1 win, securing their 13th FA Cup title.

This highly anticipated match saw Pep Guardiola’s side aiming to repeat their 2023 victory over Erik ten Hag’s men, but it was United who prevailed in a tense and dramatic encounter.

The match started with high intensity as Manchester City quickly had a penalty appeal dismissed, with Erling Haaland’s claims of a push by Lisandro Martinez being waved off by the referee.

United had their own penalty appeal turned down 20 minutes in when Bruno Fernandes went down in the box, but again, the referee allowed play to continue.

The deadlock was broken on the half-hour mark when Alejandro Garnacho capitalized on a defensive error by City to tap in the opening goal.

Manchester United thought they had doubled their lead shortly after, but Marcus Rashford’s effort was ruled offside.

However, United did find their second goal in the 39th minute through Kobbie Mainoo, who finished off a stunning team move.

City intensified their efforts in the second half, introducing Jeremy Doku and Julian Alvarez in an attempt to turn the tide.

Doku made an immediate impact, creating a chance for Phil Foden, but United’s goalkeeper Andre Onana was quick to deny the opportunity.

City came closest to scoring in the 54th minute when Haaland’s effort hit the crossbar.

The pressure continued as Kyle Walker’s powerful shot from 20 yards out was acrobatically saved by Onana.

Despite their relentless attacks, City struggled to find the net, with Alvarez missing a crucial chance by sliding his shot wide.

United were resilient in defense, managing to withstand City’s onslaught. City’s appeals for another penalty were dismissed in the 75th minute after Haaland was involved in a tussle with Mainoo.

Guardiola’s frustrations were evident on the sidelines as the referee once again refused to award a penalty.

City finally broke through United’s defense in the 87th minute with a strike from Doku, but it was too late to change the outcome. Manchester United held on to their lead and claimed a hard-fought victory.

This win marks Manchester United’s second FA Cup triumph in recent years and a significant achievement for manager Erik ten Hag.

Despite a valiant effort from City, United’s tactical discipline and clinical finishing secured them the coveted trophy.
