First hauf

[eedit | eedit soorce]

Hull kickit-aff the 133rd FA Cup Feenal an dominatit possession for the openin stages. Barely fower minutes intae the gemme, Hull wan a corner that wis crossed in bi Stephen Quinn tae fynd Tom Huddlestone on the edge o the penalty aurie; Huddlestone tried a volley that went intae the path o James Chester, who tappit it in frae close range tae gie Hull City a early lead. The heich tempo wi which Hull stairtit the gemme apparently owerwhelmit Arsenal, an fower minutes efter the first goal, thay scored again. Ahmed Elmohamady receivit a free kick an crossed it in tae the penalty aurie. This caused controversy as Arsenal believit he haed taken the free kick several yards in front o whaur the foul wis committit. Nivertheless, the baw wis pickit up on the far edge o the penalty aurie bi Quinn, who got past Aaron Ramsey an crossed it in tae the goalmooth, whaur it wis heidit towards goal bi centre-back Alex Bruce. Arsenal goalkeeper Łukasz Fabiański parriet it oot tae Hull caiptain an fellae centre-back Curtis Davies, who fired the baw intae the far bottom corner o the goal. Hull amaist scored a third goal moments later, when a heider frae Bruce wis heidit aff the goal line bi Arsenal's Kieran Gibbs. Insteid, it wis Arsenal who scored the next goal; in the 16t minute, thay wan a free kick on the edge o the Hull penalty aurie, which Santi Cazorla fired ower the Hull waw an intae the top corner o the goal. For the rest o the first hauf, chances wur scarce an Hull maintained thair lead intae the hauf-time interval.

[eedit | eedit soorce]

At the stairt o the seicont hauf, Arsenal came oot on top, constantly pressin for a equaliser. Thay wur denied twa penalties bi referee Lee Probert afore thay feenally got an equaliser in the 71st minute, wi centre-back Laurent Koscielny bundlin a heider frae Bacary Sagna ower the line follaein a corner. Mony believit that a goal kick shoud hae been gien insteid o a corner as it appeared that substitute Yaya Sanogo got the last touch, but the goal wis gien nanetheless. In the 79t minute, Gibbs haed a chance tae put Arsenal in front when he haed juist goalkeeper Allan McGregor tae beat, but he coud no hit the target, shuitin heich o the goal. Arsenal haed anither chance for a winnin goal in injury time, but Olivier Giroud's shot wis savit bi McGregor.

Extra time

[eedit | eedit soorce]

Arsenal leukit lik the better team for maist o extra time, creatin lots o chances. Giroud hit the crossbar efter five minutes an Ramsey fired a nummer o law shots at goal, forcin saves frae McGregor. Fower minutes intae the seicont hauf o extra time, Arsenal teuk the lead via a law shot frae Ramsey tae the near corner follaein a back-pass bi Giroud. Wi fower minutes o the gemme left, Hull haed a chance tae equalise when Sone Aluko teuk advantage o a Per Mertesacker slip, went roond the onrushin Fabiański, an fired a shot athort the Arsenal penalty aurie frae a vera ticht angle, anerly for it tae go inches wide. Three minutes later, Aluko haed anither chance when he shot at the corner anerly for it tae be savit juist in time bi Fabiański.
