On the lawn, the match was like the stands: electric.
The melting grounds of Wembley played host to raging Newcastle and Manchester United fans.
An atmosphere that immediately influenced the 22 actors of the meeting.
High-intensity races, disputed duels, beautiful passing circuits... The final got off to a flying start.
In the first ten minutes, the duel of the meeting mainly opposed Diogo Dalot to Allan Saint-Maximin.
The French took the upper hand slightly, causing himself the first yellow of the match to his opponent (10th, 0-0).
After 20 frantic minutes, the match had slightly decreased in intensity with first of all the “malaise” of Guimareas, but also and especially the big clash between Schär and Martinez.
The two players, who collided in a head duel,
remained almost five minutes on the ground (26th, 0-0).
A few minutes later, Allan Saint-Maximin obtained the first big chance of the match thanks to a festival on Dalot.
After a double contact, the Frenchman presented himself against David De Gea, solid on his support, who diverted the strike from the winger with his left arm (32nd, 0-0).
But it was indeed Manchester United who, on the next action, would open the scoring.
On an excellent cross from Luke Shaw on a free kick, Casemiro took the best of his vis-à-vis to place a beautiful uncrossed header (34th, 1-0).
The Red Devils were confident, and even took the opportunity to double the lead.
Rashford's strike - deflected by Botman - deceived Karius, who had not remained sufficiently on his feet, despite the difficult trajectory to apprehend.
First trophy for Manchester United since 2017
When the lemons returned, Wan-Bissaka had replaced Dalot.
A shrewd choice on the part of Ten Hag, as the Portuguese seemed in difficulty in the face of the ardor of Saint-Maximin.
Especially since Wan-Bissaka managed the French very well, like his tackle and his recovery on the number 10 of the Magpies, who could even have brought the goal of 3-0 if the side had then made the good choice of pass (50th, 2-0).
Subsequently, the Magpies pushed to come back, but came up against the Manchester United defense several times (64th, 68th).
On the rare times when the Magpies passed the defense, it was still necessary to deceive the vigilance of David De Gea.
The Spanish goalkeeper was beyond reproach this evening, like his anticipation of the good cross from Trippier (72nd, 2-0).
The Red Devils defended very well,
but missed a few opportunities to drive the point home.
Murphy distinguished himself one last time with a missile from 30 meters, whipped from the outside of the right foot, which had De Gea completely glued to the spot (88th, 2-0).
Manchester United wins its sixth English League Cup, but above all wins its first title since 2017.
