(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Lee Young-ho = Manchester United (Man Utd) of the English Professional Football Premier League defeated Coventry City (Second Division) in a penalty kick after many hardships and went on to round final of the English Football Association (FA) Cup.

In the 2023-2024 FA Cup semi-final against Coventry held at Wembley Stadium in London, England on the 22nd (Korea time), Manchester United won 3-3 after a ‘bloody battle over 120 minutes’ and won 4-2 in penalty kick .

Accordingly, Manchester United will play the final match against Manchester City (hereinafter referred to as Manchester City), who defeated Chelsea the previous day, in the ‘Manchester Derby’ at Wembley Stadium on May 25th time local.

Manchester United lost 1-2 to Manchester City in the FA Cup final last season, so they took the opportunity to get revenge for the first time in a year.

Although they won on penalties, Manchester United showed a disappointing performance that oscillated between ‘heaven and hell’.

Due to a series of injuries to centre-backs, Manchester United faced Coventry with defensive midfielder Casemiro forming a central defensive combination with Harry Maguire.

Manchester United started well.

Manchester United took the lead with Scott McTominay’s first goal in the 23rd minute of the first half, but Maguire’s header in added time ended the first half 2-0.

In the 13th minute of the second half, Bruno Fernands scored the team’s third goal, seemingly securing an easy victory.

But after that, Coventry’s big counterattack began.

Coventry leveled the scores dramatically with Ellis Sims’ chase goal in the 26th minute of the second half as the signal, Callum O’Hare’s extra goal in the 34th minute of the second half, and Hodge Wright kicking a penalty as a result of a knock on handball by Manchester United’s Aaron Wan-Bissaka in extra time in the second half.

Both teams, unable to score a match in the 90 minutes of the first half, went into overtime.

Coventry scored a goal in extra time in the second half of extra time, but the goal was ruled out as offside by VAR.

In the end, both teams went into a bloody penalty shootout, and Manchester United laughed.

In the penalty kick that started with Manchester United in the lead, Casemiro, who is the number one kicker, missed, but Coventry also missed twice, and Manchester United won 4-2 and progressed to the final.
