Manchester City claimed the FA Cup after a tight 1–0 victory over Chelsea at Wembley Stadium, with Antoine Semenyo scoring the decisive goal in the second half.
The final was a cautious and tactical affair for long spells, with both sides struggling to create clear chances in the first half. Chelsea gradually grew into the game through the influence of players like Enzo Fernández and Cole Palmer, while City relied on possession dominance and quick transitions involving Erling Haaland and Jérémy Doku.
After a goalless first half, City increased their urgency following the restart. Antoine Semenyo eventually broke the deadlock in the 72nd minute with a moment of individual brilliance, finishing a well-worked move to give Pep Guardiola’s side the lead.
Chelsea pushed forward in search of an equaliser, with João Pedro and Palmer testing City’s defence, but they were unable to find a breakthrough. Late efforts from City, including near chances involving Haaland, helped them control the closing stages.
The result delivers another major trophy for Pep Guardiola’s side, while Chelsea are left to reflect on missed opportunities in a closely contested final decided by a single moment of quality.
