This time the epic Manchester United and Old Trafford, its ‘Theatre of Dreams’ more than ever. A purpose of love Diallo In the last breath of extra time, in the 121st minute, the team of Erik ten Haag for the semi-finals of the FA Cup as it was 4-3 against Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool.
The whole match was exciting, from the first half and the Manchester United It started better than Liverpool. The Old Trafford team, who started with great intensity and dominated, the first chances. Kelleher, the Reds’ starting goalkeeper in the absence of the injured Alisson, had plenty of work and was successful, starting with a shot from Marcus Rashford.
In fact, it only took 9 minutes for Manchester United to go ahead and they did so through Scott Tominay (in place of the injured Casemiro). After a shot by Alexandro Garnacho was deflected by Kelleher, the Scottish midfielder took advantage of the ball to curl a shot that was unable to be stopped by the Liverpool goalkeeper. Klopp’s team is struggling against its greatest rivals at a historic level.
Rasmus Höjlund was unable to take advantage of Garnacho’s counterattack to score the second as he slipped. But, despite a good first half by Manchester United, Liverpool produced one of their dazzling reactions. And that after a great play by a great Mainoo, a save by Kelleher after a shot by McTominay, who was the author of the first goal.
But Liverpool’s comeback came. Endo scored, but the referee disallowed the goal due to offside. In the 44th minute, Alexis Mac Allister leveled thanks to a powerful shot against which Onana was helpless. After the play by Quansah and Darwin Núñez.
And in stoppage time, Darwin Núñez’s shot was saved by André Onana and Salah took advantage of the rebound to put Liverpool ahead. Again the Egyptian nightmare for United: 13 goals in 14 games against those from Old Trafford. And, on another occasion, ‘red’, leaving Varane, Darwin Núñez hit a great shot to which the goalkeeper of Manchester United responded with a great save.
Manchester United tried to react as Liverpool looked for their third goal. And Ten Hag’s team paid off, but in the end emerged their first hero of the afternoon to make it 2-2. It was Antony and in the 87th minute. Almost in no time. As he fell to the ground. Rashford missed a golden chance to tie the game in the 94th minute.
And the extension came. Liverpool took the lead again. Thanks to Harvey Elliott in the 105th minute, he took advantage of the ball from Conor Bradley. United will not give up. First, Rashford composed himself after his previous mistake and, after a mistake by Darwin Núñez then the ball went to McTominay, the Scot sent it to the English international and he made it 3-3. And the other great hero of Manchester United is Diallon the 12’1, after a pass from Garnacho. The semi-finals are for United.
