On Saturday, the first FA Cup semi-final matches were played at London's "Wembley" stadium.
"Manchester United" and London's "Tottenham" fought each other for a spot in the tournament final. Starting the game strongly, "Spurs" once again will be left without a trophy as their opponents defeated them with a score of 2-1.
"Tottenham" started the match very actively and already in the 11th minute took the lead - after a great pass from Christian Eriksen, Dele Alli, left unmarked, directed the ball into the opponent's goal.
However, the Manchester team did not falter - the equality was restored in the 24th minute: after receiving the ball, Paul Pogba made a pass into the penalty area, where Alexis Sanchez found space and headed the ball accurately, erasing the opponents' advantage.
In the second half, the football was similar, but luck was on the side of the "Man Utd" team. Failing to capitalize on good opportunities, "Spurs" let their opponents take the lead in the 64th minute, where Ander Herrera scored with a powerful strike.
During the remaining time, Manchester's eleven withstood the defense flawlessly and for the second year in a row reached the tournament final.
In the final, "Man Utd" will face the winner of the pair "Chelsea" - "Southampton".
