The second FA Cup semi-final match between the teams of "Sunderland" and "Millwall" has ended. The match took place at Old Trafford stadium and was watched by 56 thousand gathered football fans. Both clubs play in the first division of England and are fighting for promotion to the Premier League. The match did not reflect the divisional league table. Although "Sunderland" is third and "Millwall" is fifth, the away players of "Millwall" won with a score of 1-0. Thus, they not only advanced to the FA Cup final, where they will meet "Man Utd", but also earned the right to play in the UEFA Cup next year.
The only goal in this match was scored in the 25th minute by the Australian player of the "Millwall" team, T.Cahill. This goal was already his fourth in the FA Cup this year. He repeated Timo Ifillo's shot, which was saved by "Sunderland" club goalkeeper M.Poom. "Sunderland" player J.McAteer was sent off the field after receiving his second yellow card. Both teams controlled the ball for approximately equal amounts of time.
Before this semi-final match, the president of "Millwall" club, T.Paphitis, promised that if the club reaches the FA Cup final, he will run naked through the streets of South London. It seems that now the president will have to fulfill his promise.
