After a difficult week, the Spanish goalkeeper was back to his best at Wembley as Erik ten Hag's side won on penalties after a 0-0 draw

David de Gea went to Wembley with his reputation on the floor and his Manchester United future hanging in the balance after a nightmarish performance against Sevilla.

But he came out swinging and was the Red Devils' hero as they edged out a tense and tight FA Cup semi-final with Brighton on penalties after a 0-0 draw.

It was a nerve-shredding penalty shootout and the only player to miss was Solly March, who sent his spot-kick into the stands.

De Gea may not have saved a penalty in the shootout, but did enough to put March off before Victor Lindelof buried the next kick to set up a blockbuster FA Cup final against Manchester City.

Over 120 minutes, though, De Gea made a series of outstanding saves to keep an impressive Brighton at bay.

United had their moments too, with Bruno Fernandes creating plenty of danger and Antony stretching Brighton but making a lot of bad decisions with his final pass or shot.

GOAL rates United's players from Wembley…

  Goalkeeper & Defence

  David de Gea (9/10):

  Back to what he does best after the trauma of Sevilla. Pushed away Mac Allister's fizzing free-kick and Enciso's scorching drive, caught March's low effort and beat Mitoma to the ball with his foot.

  Aaron Wan-Bissaka (8/10):

  Showed brilliant anticipation throughout, making perfectly-timed tackles and keeping his head when Brighton were swarming over United either side of half-time.

  Victor Lindelof (7/10):

  Quietly did a fine job, keeping the ball well and making important blocks and tackles. Booked in extra-time before netting the winning penalty.

  Luke Shaw (7/10):

  Very strong again as an emergency centre-back and much better than Maguire.

  Diogo Dalot (6/10):

  Pretty good in defence and very calm under pressure although nearly got Casemiro into trouble with a sloppy pass, saved by Shaw making a tactical foul. More cautious in attack.

  Midfield

  Christian Eriksen (6/10):

  Made some good passes to start attacks but missed a big chance before half-time with a mis-kick. Ran out of breath in the second half and was the first to come off.

  Casemiro (5/10):

  Picked up a booking for clumsy foul on Mac Allister. Not very strong in tackles and nearly ran into trouble with his passing but made an important header off the line.

  Bruno Fernandes (8/10):

  United's best outfield player. Had three strong attempts on goal and unlucky not to score. Worked hard defensively and after being taken off in extra-time was seen barking orders from the sidelines.

  Attack

  Antony (6/10):

  Lively and gave Brighton's defence lots to think about, but his decision-making was very poor.

  Anthony Martial (5/10):

  Looked really off the pace. Bunged an attempted chip on Sanchez and his passing was poor.

  Marcus Rashford (6/10):

  Struggled to get into the game but got better as it went on and a fine Sanchez save denied him the winner. Flashed a shot past the post in extra-time.

  Subs & Manager

  Fred (6/10):

  Focused mostly on defensive duties when replacing Eriksen. Should have done better with a cross to Weghorst in extra-time.

  Jadon Sancho (6/10):

  Had a few good moments, such as his cross for Sabitzer.

  Marcel Sabitzer (5/10):

  Sent glancing header wide early in extra-time. Did little else and made awful cross with dangerous late free-kick.

  Wout Weghorst (6/10):

  Worked hard and his energy helped push Brighton back in extra-time. As usual, created no danger.

  Tyrell Malacia (6/10):

  Defended well at right-back in extra-time, winning important tackles.

  Erik ten Hag (8/10):

  Managed to pick the team up from the floor after the humiliation in Seville and got his selection and changes spot-on. Took a pragmatic approach by allowing Brighton the ball and it paid off

Enquanto congela as tratativas por novos reforços, segundo apuração do LANCE!, o Flamengo ainda mantém conversas com Jorge Jesus para que o contrato do treinador seja renovado (veja mais aqui), passado o alívio pelo último resultado do português para o novo coronavírus ter dado negativo.

Em recente entrevista à FLA TV, Everton Ribeiro falou sobre a expectativa que ele e o elenco do Flamengo estão pela prorrogação do projeto do Mister, que já rendeu cinco taças desde meados de 2019.

O camisa 7 ainda falou a respeito da relação entre Gabigol e Jesus, um trunfo que é explorado até como uma espécie de estratégia no vestiário:

– O Mister soube tirar o melhor de cada um. Isso nos passa uma confiança no trabalho dele, e esperamos que ele continue. O Gabigol sempre pergunta para ele no meio da gente se vai ficar ou não. Ele dá risada, fala que gosta muito da gente, que quer ficar. Espero que dê tudo certo e que ele possa ficar muito tempo com a gente.

Cabe sublinhar que Jesus viaja nesta segunda a Portugal, com chegada prevista a Lisboa para esta terça, visando ficar ao lado da família enquanto as atividades do clube estão suspensas, por tempo indeterminado.

A FASE COMO CAPITÃO

Everton Ribeiro, além de falar da paralisação por conta da COVID-19 e da saudade da torcida (confira aqui), comentou acerca da experiência que tem tido como capitão do time de Jorge Jesus.

– Está sendo muito bacana. Uma experiência nova. Me senti muito bem. É uma honra usar a braçadeira de capitão dessa equipe tão vitoriosa do Flamengo. Nós, os capitães, temos que ter um certo exemplo na equipe. A gente procura fazer isso. Para mim está sendo muito legal, espero que possamos levantar muitas taças.

De quarentena, seguindo orientações da Organização Mundial da Saúde, e a realizarem atividades físicas em casa, Everton Ribeiro e o elenco do Flamengo estão com os treinos no clube suspensos, sem previsão para retorno.

Os jogadores, aliás, estão recebendo equipamentos do Ninho do Urubu em suas residências para que os exercícios sejam aprimorados.

Após registrar a maior goleada do torneio até, o São Paulo volta a campo para disputar a terceira e última rodada da fase de grupos da Copinha. O confronto contra o EC São Bernardo será nesta sexta-feira, às 21h30, no estádio Primeiro de Maio e vale vaga na próxima fase da competição. Entenda abaixo o que os garotos de Cotia precisam fazer para continuarem na briga pelo título.

Vale lembrar que na primeira rodada do Grupo 29, o Tricolor apenas empatou em 0 a 0 com o Operário-PR, o que dificultou uma classificação antecipada do time e faz com que o duelo desta sexta-feira se torne tão decisivo. Até aqui são quatro pontos conquistados, com a vantagem de um saldo de oito gols devido à goleada sobre o Palmeiras-RN na última quarta-feira.

Dessa forma, o São Paulo lidera sua chave com a mesma pontuação do EC São Bernardo, mas toma a dianteira por conta da enorme diferença no saldo, já que o time do ABC tem sete tentos a menos nesse quesito. Por esse motivo, um empate na partida desta sexta-feira garante a vaga ao Tricolor e pode eliminar o adversário caso o Operário-PR vença o Palmeira-RN no jogo das 19h15.

– O saldo de gols é muito importante, mas mais importante é o melhor futebol apresentado nesta noite (terça-feira), um time mais encaixado. O saldo veremos a diferença na última rodada se de fato fará diferença – declarou o técnico Orlando Ribeiro, após o triunfo na segunda rodada.

A igualdade praticamente garante a liderança do grupo, já que o time paranaense pode chegar aos mesmo cinco pontos que o São Paulo, mas teria que golear a equipe potiguar por mais de oito gols de diferença. Como o jogo acontece antes, os são-paulinos entrarão em campo já sabendo do resultado e do que precisam fazer para garantir o objetivo de passar de fase.

Em caso de vitória, o Tricolor garante vaga e liderança sem precisar pensar no que os outros times fizeram ou não. Chegará aos sete pontos e ficará isolado no topo do Grupo 29. Para isso, o time realiza o último trabalho nesta quinta-feira para não deixar escapar a possibilidade de permanecer em busca de mais um título de Copinha. Os são-paulinos são o atuais campeões do torneio.

– Já começamos o trabalho para a ‘decisão’. Colocamos eles no lugar deles e eles sabem o que precisam fazer no próximo jogo – concluiu o treinador dos jovens.

Com entrada gratuita para os torcedores, o São Paulo enfrenta o EC São Bernardo, nesta sexta-feira, às 21h30, no estádio Primeiro de Maio pela terceira rodada da fase de grupos da Copinha. Os classificados do Grupo 29 pegam os classificados do Grupo 30, no qual já se garantiram Flamengo-SP e Santa Cruz.

James Hopes, coming in at No.8, blasted 94 off 60 balls, guiding Queensland to an innings lead against Tasmania in Brisbane

ScorecardFile photo: James Hopes drilled 16 fours for his 94•Getty ImagesJames Hopes, coming in at No.8, blasted 94 off 60 balls, guiding Queensland to an innings lead against Tasmania in Brisbane. Tasmania, who began the day at 9 for 269, lasted just five overs in the morning, as Mitchell Swepson quickly bowled the last batsman Sam Rainbird.Queensland, though, began their reply poorly, as the opener Matt Renshaw was run out in the sixth over. The team was dealt another blow when Charlie Hemphrey was trapped lbw, but Marnus Labuschagne and Chris Lynn led a recovery, putting up 71 runs for the third wicket. Both batsmen eventually fell in the space of four overs, but Sam Heazlett kept the runs flowing, his 56 taking the team over the 200-run mark.Tasmania might have had one eye on an innings lead when Hamish Kingston dismissed Heazlett to leave Queensland six down and still 91 runs away from parity, but Hopes quickly helped his team regain the advantage by smashing 16 fours during his blast, and stringing together 128 runs for the seventh wicket with the captain Chris Hartley. Hopes scored at a strike-rate of 156.66, and though he fell just short of what would have been a sixth first-class ton, his blitz gave Queensland a lead of 43. Hartley was unbeaten on 47 when stumps were called.
