  • Coventry balas tiga gol di menit-menit akhir
  • Setan Merah menang via adu penalti, tantang City di final Piala FA

APA YANG TERJADI?

Manchester United berhak melangkah ke final Piala FA 2023/24 setelah membekap Coventry City, Minggu (21/4), di Wembley Stadium. Unggul 3-0, The Red Devils kena comeback epik berkat tiga gol Coventry dan laga pun harus dilanjutkan ke babak tambahan setelah waktu normal berakhir dengan skor 3-3. Tanpa ada gol tambahan, Man United akhirnya menang via adu penalti (skor 4-2).

MANCHESTER UNITED MELENGGANG…

Manchester United membuka keunggulan pada menit ke-23 lewat tak lain dan tak bukan Scott McTominay. Diogo Dalot melakukan overlap di sisi kanan sebelum mengirimkan crossing rendah nan kuat ke tengah kotak penalti. McTominay kembali menunjukkan insting pencetak golnya dengan menusuk dari lini tengah dan mengonversi umpan Dalot dengan sebuah tap-in sederhana. Gelandang Skotlandia itu menjadi pencetak gol non-penalti terbanyak kedua Man United (10) musim ini, hanya kalah dari Rasmus Hojlund (13). Menjelang turun minum, The Red Devils menggandakan keunggulan setelah sepak pojok Bruno Fernandes sukses ditanduk Harry Maguire melewati kawalan kiper Bradley Collins.

Setelah menyumbang assist untuk gol kedua, sang kapten tak ingin ketinggalan masuk papan skor. Fernandes sendiri yang memulai serangan balik, mengoper ke Marcus Rashford di sisi kiri yang lantas berusaha memotong memotong ke kanan. Ia bisa dihentikan di kotak penalti, tetapi bola lepas bergulir ke arah Fernandes. Gelandang Portugal itu menghindari cegatan dua pemain Coventry di ruang sempit kotak penalti, sebelum melepaskan tembakan yang mengenai Bobby Thomas dan masuk ke gawang di menit ke-58.

…TAPI COVENTRY MEMBALAS!

Tertinggal 3-0 tak membuat Coventry City patah arang, dan The Sky Blues tiba-tiba mengejutkan Man United dengan dua gol dalam delapan menit.

Balasan pertama diceploskan Ellis Simms pada menit ke-71. Ia lepas tanpa kawalan di kotak penalti Man United, dan mantan pemain akademi Manchester City itu mampu mengonversi umpan silang rendah Fabio Tavares dengan sepakan voli.

Asa comeback tim peringkat delapan di Championship itu pun kian nyata ketika Andre Onana dibuat mati langkah oleh gol defleksi Callum O’Hare. Sepakan O’Hare dari luar kotak penalti mengenai tubuh Aaron Wan-Bissaka, melambung ke udara, sebelum menghunjam masuk ke gawang Man United.

Dan comeback itu pun terwujud! Wan-Bissaka lagi-lagi menjadi faktor setelah bola mengenai tangannya di kotak penalti pada menit kedua injury time. Haji Wright yang dipercaya sebagai eksekutor sukses mengecoh Onana untuk menyamakan kedudukan menjadi 3-3 dan memaksa pertandingan dilanjutkan ke babak tambahan.

Victor Torp nyaris menyempurnakan comeback epik Coventry City pada masa injury time babak tambahan kedua, namun VAR menganulir golnya karena Wright berada di posisi offside dalam prosesnya.

MENANG TOS-TOSAN

Casemiro memang gagal sebagai penendang penalti pertama, namun Onana sukses menepis eksekusi O’Hare. Sepakan Ben Sheaf melambung di atas mistar, sehingga penalti Rasmus Hojlund mengirimkan Manchester United ke final Piala FA 2023/24.

SELANJUTNYA BUAT MANCHESTER UNITED

Setan Merah akan kembali beraksi pada Kamis (25/4) dini hari WIB, menjamu Sheffield United di ajang Liga Primer Inggris.
