FA Cup | Manchester City beat Manchester United with two great goals from Gündogan: live result and minute-by-minute score

With two volleys of Gundoganone of them the fastest goal in the history of the cup finals, the Manchester City caught his Second FA Cup under Pep Guardiola (2-1) and is only one game away, the final of the Champions League against him Inter Milann, to become the second English team in history to win the triplet.

It will be in seven days when Guardiola’s team, perhaps the most dominant in English footballhave the opportunity to match the feat of the Manchester United de 1999. Inter will have the last word, after United lost the chance to be the executioner of the historic season of the ‘Sky Blues’.

In a final that already seemed unbalanced in itself, the exit to the field of those from Erik Ten Hagwhich granted the earliest goal in FA Cup final history. As soon as City got out of the midfield, there was a pitch from Stefan Ortega, a prolongation from Haaland, an erratic clearance from Lindelof and a volley to the squad from Ilkay Gundogan. Thirteen seconds and United had already shot themselves in the foot.

And three minutes later, I had to be thankful that the final hadn’t closed the minutes already, because a header from Rodri and a shot from De Bruyne could quickly seal the trophy.

It would have been the natural outcome of the match, because United was not even present, until the VAR brought him out of lethargy with an action that practically no one saw.

Bruno Fernandes placed a cross to the far post, Wan-Bissaka he won it headlong and the leather touched the hand of Jack Grealish. A few seconds passed without anyone claiming anything, until the referee stopped the match because he had received the VAR notice. Visit to the screen and penalty for United. Fernandes did not miss from eleven meters, who gave United an undeserved extra ball.

Manchester City celebrate thanks to two volleys from Gundogan

It didn’t take long for him to lose her. Minutes after starting the second half, De Bruyne, in a lateral free kick, brought up Guardiola’s blackboard and United’s lack of learning. The Belgian served the ball Gundogan in the front and the German, with a hit less clean than the first, took a volley before which De Gea, somewhat covered, could do much more.

The Spanish goalkeeper made up for it by avoiding Haaland’s goal, in a good stop below the Norwegian’s shot from the penalty spot, but the general feeling was that the final had left in that second volley from Gundogan.

Rashford and an Alejandro Garnacho that came out of soda they tried it with two shots from the front, also Scott McTominay with a header against the crossbar at the last moment, but there was no surprise, City, the favorites, won their seventh FA Cup, with which they break with Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United in the list of winners and level with Aston Villa.

is the second FA Cup for City since Guardiola was hereafter the one they achieved in 2019 beating Javi Gracia’s Watford.

After some celebrations that seem short, due to the importance of what lies ahead, City will begin to prepare for the assault on the Champions League final next Saturday in Istanbul against Inter Milan.

They already have the Premier League and the FA Cup in their pocket, now there is the biggest prize; the ‘Orejona’ and the legendary record of its neighbors.
