FA Youth Cup Final: Manchester City U18s 2-1 Manchester United U18s
Manchester United Under-18s fought for the FA Youth Cup on Thursday night against rivals Manchester City at the JOIE Stadium.
The young Red Devils were cheered on in the stands by Michael Carrick and first-team players, including Bruno Fernandes, Luke Shaw, and Mason Mount.
Darren Fletcherâs selection was boosted by the return of Godwill Kukonki, while Amir Ibragimov made his first start in the competition after recently returning from a foot injury.
First half
Both sides looked to feel each other out in the opening exchanges, with the two teams defending their boxes tightly.
The first big chance of the match fell the way of the home side. A wide free kick was delivered into the box and headed down for an open Teddie Lamb to strike from just six yards out, but the outstretched foot of Cameron Byrne-Hughes kept the score at 0-0.
Both sides had penalty shouts as the half wore on, but on both occasions the referee reached into his pocket to book Dante Headley and then JJ Gabriel for simulation.
City eventually took the lead in the 40th minute, as Floyd Sambaâs expertly placed free kick found the top left corner out of the reach of Byrne-Hughes.
United responded immediately, drawing level less than two minutes later. Jim Thwaitesâ cross was stood up to the back post for Kukonki to attack and head home.
