Guardiola's City Edge Closer to Double After Silva's Late FA Cup Heroics
Late Victory Keeps Double Dream Alive
Silva's Decisive Strike Sends Manchester City Through
Bernardo Silva's late goal propelled Manchester City into the FA Cup final as they secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Chelsea in the semi-final. The match remained goalless until the 80th minute, when Silva's decisive strike ultimately sealed the win for the Premier League champions.
Chelsea, who had eliminated Manchester City from the FA Cup last season, found themselves under pressure throughout the match as City dominated possession and created numerous chances. Despite the persistent attacks, Chelsea's defense remained resolute, keeping City at bay.
However, Silva's late intervention proved to be the difference. The Portuguese midfielder latched onto a loose ball and unleashed a low shot that nestled into the bottom corner beyond the reach of Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga.
Manchester City will now face Arsenal in the final, which is scheduled for August 1st. The victory also keeps alive their hopes of completing a domestic treble, having already secured the Premier League title and reached the final of the Champions League.
