In the second half, Brighton increased the pressure and continuously put MU's goal in a state of alarm. After a forgettable match in the Europa League, De Gea proved his talent with two excellent saves, respectively from Julio Encisco and Solly March.

United had to wait until the last minute of the first extra time to create a truly dangerous chance. Rashford did his best but Robert Sanchez's fingertips saved Brighton from conceding.

The 0-0 draw remained until the 120th minute. De Gea played well in regulation time but could not save any penalty. The surprise happened in the 7th round. Solly March's shot went over the bar, while Victor Lindelof successfully kicked to help the "Red Devils" win the final victory.

Man United have reached the FA Cup final for the first time in 5 years. The opponent awaiting coach Ten Hag and his team at Wembley is Man City. This is also the first time in history that the Manchester derby has taken place in the FA Cup final.

Juventus lost to Napoli in cruel extra time

In the highlight match of round 31 of Serie A, the top team Napoli will visit Juventus, the team currently ranked 3rd on the rankings.

In the first half, Juventus and Napoli created a balanced game. On the offensive front, the home team focused on passing the ball to striker Milik while the away team tried to take advantage of the mobility of Kvaratskhelia and Osimhen.

In the second half, Napoli quickly created scoring opportunities. Kvaratskhelia, Di Lorenzo and Osimhen threatened the home team's goal with dangerous shots but the goal still did not come.

In the 82nd minute, in a lightning counter-attack by Juventus, Di Maria coolly finished off goalkeeper Meret. However, after consulting VAR, the referee did not recognize the home team's goal because Milik had fouled an opponent player in the previous situation.

In the first minute of extra time, Juventus had another shot on Napoli's net, but the goal was disallowed because the ball had already gone out of bounds. Unfortunately, 2 minutes after this, the home team conceded a goal. Receiving Elmas' cross, Raspadori volleyed accurately to score a precious goal for the away team.

This was also the only goal of the match. With a dramatic win over Juventus, Napoli is one step closer to the Serie A championship, having already opened up a 17-point lead over second-placed Lazio with only seven rounds remaining. As for the home team, losing their second consecutive round puts them at risk of being overtaken by AS Roma, AC Milan and Inter.
