The failure of Solly Marchwhich sent his shot to the clouds, and the success of Victor Lindeloff condemned a series that ended 7-6 in favor of the red devils.

Brighton, who are enjoying what could be the best season in their history, can leave Wembley with heads held high, where they were narrowly superior to a United who relied on De Gea’s reflexes and his defense to stop some seagulls, affected by the lack of a nine of guarantees. Without Ferguson, it was Danny Welbeck the one who took responsibility for the goal and his game left a lot to be desired.

Also because De Gea has recovered from the weak performance against Sevilla in the Europa League. The Spanish goalkeeper had several saves to cut and save from a Mac Allister free-kick, a finish from Paraguayan Julio Enciso and a shot from March, who had had a great afternoon until his penalty was missed.

In the other arc was the figure of Robert Sánchez, who was meant to appear less, but did so when Brighton needed him most. In extra time he saved Marcus Rashford’s 0-1 with a point-blank volley inside the area.

The archers, protagonists in the 120 minutes, however; they disappeared on penalties. There were twelve shots without the intervention of the two goalkeepers. Only Sánchez came close to stopping a shot from Austria’s Marcel Sabitzer.

And although they charged into the area of ​​the pitch where the Brighton fans were, they went to the ‘Seagulls’ whose legs were shaking. March sent his pitch into the clouds and broke down in tears. Lindelof, at the next blow and in the midst of sudden death, did not fail.
