00:00Pulled back to Gabriel, out wide now to Kukonki, retreats to Rafe McCormack and United worked themselves into a good
00:07position but realised it was a dead end, so we're now coming in the opposite direction, lovely footwork from Yul
00:12Halafu up to the edge of the penalty area, Halafu with the thunderous effort and two strong wrists from Benetton
00:19repel that charge from United.
00:21Well, that's a brilliant run from Yul Halafu, just sees the gap and accelerates away, nobody comes to close him
00:29down.
00:30Ajayi's got two Crystal Palace players in front of him, so decides to come back to Kukonki, now Ajayi, Kukonki's
00:37continued his run, done really well to get in behind, he's going to swing a great cross in, oh what
00:42a header from Chido Obi and it's flashed wide, it's absolutely brilliant work down the left hand side to release
00:48Kukonki and Kukonki's left footed cross,
00:50whipped in dangerously, Chido Obi can't find the target, that's almost in behind, in fact that is in behind and
00:59all of a sudden Palace are through, brilliant save from Cameron Byrne-Hughes, can the follow-up be turned home,
01:04Manchester United scrambling to get it away, eventually comes out to the penalty spot and Albert Mills can get the
01:10ball clear.
01:11And that's what we were talking about earlier, that it can just, in a split second, things can change even
01:18if the opposition do not deserve it at all, and no matter how dominant you've been at 0-0, anything
01:25can happen.
01:27So clears it away, straight down the throat of Godwill Kukonki, brings it down on the thigh, and then Chido
01:31Obi into the penalty area looking for Gabriel, Gabriel evades the goalkeeper, stands up, a great cross, header, save on
01:38the line, how has Benetton got back to it, sliding back across his goal, and La Salle wondering how on
01:45earth he's got there.
01:46That's superb.
01:51Obi holding off his man, slides that in, Gabriel in the penalty area, Gabriel!
01:571-0 Manchester United, brilliant from Chido Obi on the edge of the penalty area, holds it up fantastically, slips
02:04in Gabriel, and he smashes past the keeper to give Manchester United a 1-0 lead, United 1, Palace 0.
02:11Good hold-up play by Chido Obi, and it's as simple as that, and then the death dister finishes as
02:17the goalkeeper advances, really good play from Chido Obi, one touch, and then he just gets his foot underneath it,
02:26tiny little bit of a sand wedge, and just dinks it over the onrushing Benetton.
02:31Crystal Palace have won a corner here, which they're going to take from the left-hand side, right-footed in
02:35swinging delivery, which is headed away by Chido Obi, and he's got good distance on that,
02:40and he's chased it all the way back too, as it's lifted back to the edge of the 18-yard
02:44box, headed on by Bull, collected by Bernd-Hughes, oh, missed by Bernd-Hughes, and an opportunity for an equaliser,
02:50spilled by the goalkeeper in the penalty area, Crystal Palace latch onto it, and they find themselves an equaliser.
02:57Anderson inside the penalty area, quickest to react, and it's 1-1.
03:02Thwaites' delivery, whipped in, chance may be, the offside flag goes up against Dan Arma, and that is the last
03:09action of the second half.
03:11At the full-time interval, it's Manchester United won, Crystal Palace won.
03:24Crystal Palace have recovered quite remarkably, given there were six or seven players that were struggling with cramp-bent.
03:30Yeah, I mean, they have, obviously, they have got a few other players on there now.
03:34That's another ball in behind for Chido Obi, Obi to finish it off, goes round a keeper!
03:38Last minute, straight for the end, Chido Obi, and Manchester United take the lead,
03:44with three minutes of the game left to go, fantastic stop from Chido Obi,
03:49beat the offside trap, finishes brilliantly, United 2, Crystal Palace won.
03:55Well, it's another one of those balls, and listen, from minute one to, you know, nearly minute 121,
04:01Chido Obi has made these runs down the inside channels, and that is United in the final.
04:14Thank you very much.
