Aligned throughout the game, Kevin De Bruyne was at the origin of the main opportunities for City, which will therefore not keep the trophy won in 2019. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored the two goals of the ‘Gunners’.
Aubameyang created the first opportunity for the match, Ederson diverted to a corner (16th). Arsenal took control in the 19th minute when Aubameyang threw himself to victoriously take over a center from the right of Nicolas Pépé.
De Bruyne tried to initiate the reaction of City, but his shot from the entrance to the rectangle was countered (28th).
Not very dangerous in the first period, Manchester City was more enterprising after the break, with De Bruyne often at the start of the action. Served by the Red Devil, Sterling missed the target (50th). De Bruyne then shifted to Mahrez, whose shot was neutralized in two stages by Emiliano Martinez (54th), before brushing the post on a free kick (61st).
In attacking, City left spaces behind, for the happiness of Aubameyang who was going to double the counter strike (71st).
At the end of the game, Laporte, again on a pass from De Bruyne, pulled close (83 ‘).
Holding the record for success in the competition, Arsenal will aim for a 14th FA Cup, the first since 2017. Manchester City was the outgoing winner.
In the other semi-final, Manchester United will face Chelsea on Sunday (7:00 p.m.). The final will be played on August 1 at Wembley.
