The only goal of Hakim Zayeh brought the “pensioners” closer to winning the trophy.
The semi-final match of the FA Cup between London's Chelsea and Manchester City has ended, in which the future rival of the winner of the Leicester-Southampton pair in the final match of this tournament has been determined.
Josep Guardiola's wards were considered favorites before the match on paper, but it was the “pensioners” who managed to get to the final of the oldest football tournament in the world.
As a whole, it was difficult to single out a team that surpassed its rival in all respects during the fight.. On the field, we saw an equal game, the winner of which was determined by the only goal.
In the 55th minute of the meeting, Timo Werner assisted Hakik Ziyehu, who unmistakably seized the opportunity. The final whistle recorded a minimal victory for Chelsea, which means that the dreams of the “townspeople” about winning four trophies in one season are still only dreams..
Tomas Tuchel's team will find out their rival in the FA Cup final tomorrow, April 18, when Leicester and Southampton will meet on Wembley's pitch.
