Summary of Manchester United's victory 6:7 in penalties over Brighton in the semi-finals of the Cup (Sport 1)
Manchester United reached the semi-finals of the Cup at Wembley last night (Sunday) against Brighton after the humiliation in Sevilla that led to their expulsion from the Europa League, without their three top stoppers and with Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial not 100 percent fit.
Despite this, her 31st appearance in the semi-finals of the FA Cup also ended with a victory thanks to 6:7 after 120 minutes from zero and a duel from the penalty spot that ended with a precise penalty by Victor Lindelof after Solly March kicked high over the goal and left Brighton with only the compliments, but the cup The first in its history will not be hoisted this year either.
On June 3, United will return to Wembley and meet city rivals Manchester City in the final.
Brighton is probably the most pleasant surprise in English football this season, but even the fiery Kaoru Mitoma was unable to subdue goalkeeper David de Gea who, after the game that fell in Seville three days ago, said: "We are on the right track and that's what's important. We've already won one title (the League Cup), we're on For another final and we are fighting in the league for a place in the top 4. It's not enough yet, but it's more than what we did last season."
The final will be held in more than a month, but De Gea has already stated: "We will meet one of the best teams in Europe, but we have already proven that we can beat them."
Not afraid of City and praised by his coach.

Victor Lindelof, who got to move up in the center of defense alongside left back Luke Shaw following the injuries of Lisandro Martínez and Raphael Varane and the fact that Harry Maguire was serving a suspension due to accumulating yellow cards, was excited after getting to kick the 14th and last penalty in the match: "The feeling is amazing, it's also a relief It's great that we're in the final. I have confidence and self-belief, I knew which penalty I wanted to kick and that's what I did. It's a great feeling."
Erik ten Haah did not forget the shameful loss in Sevilla, 3:0 on Thursday and admitted: "On Thursday I saw a team that I don't recognize at all, today we looked like the team I'm used to seeing. We fought, we got good opportunities and I could see the determination and desire in the players."
Ten Haah was also asked about the decision for Rashford and Sancho to take penalties, after they missed in a duel at Wembley in the last Euro final: "It's something we were aware of, but we also knew that these are players who know how to kick and who are comfortable with the situation. It's a different game, a different event and that's great that they scored and that now they have this experience to their credit."
Finally, the coach used the opportunity to once again praise De Gea after the bad game in Seville: "David had an excellent game, he provided wonderful saves and throughout the season did a lot for us - it's not just that he saved a lot, he's also the goalkeeper who kept the most clean sheets in the Premier League".

On the other hand, the defeated coach Roberto de Zerbi was asked if he thought that Brighton deserved the ticket to the final and replied: "I think we deserved to win, because we played better and got into more situations. If you are honest, you will also say that we deserved to win. After victories it is harder to improve because You won, we'll learn from it and improve."
