Manchester City is heading for the trophy. But there was also a worrying injury.
Manchester City won 2-1 in the quarterfinals of the 2024-2025 FA Cup against Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium in Bournemouth, England, at 0:30 a.m. on the 31st (Korea time). With this victory, Manchester City will advance to the semi-finals of the FA Cup and face Nottingham Forest.
Manchester City started with Erling Holan, Phil Foden, Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardu Silva, Ilkay Gündoan, Mateo Kovacic, Josuko Gvardiol, Hoobeng Díaz, Abdouconir Husanov, Matheus Núñez and Ederson.
It was Manchester City who had the opportunity to score the first goal. In the 12th minute of the first half, Tyler Adams committed a handball foul when Silva owned the ball in the penalty box, and the penalty was declared. Holan stepped up as a kicker, but Holan's shot was perfectly blocked by Kepa Arrizabalaga.
Holan couldn't get out of the shock easily. Three minutes later, Holan had the perfect one-on-one chance due to a mistake by the Bournemouth defence. In a one-on-one opportunity with Kepa, Holan attempted a chip shot but blew it over the net and was uncharacteristic of Holan.
In the end, Bournemouth took the lead first. In the 20th minute of the first half, Núñez's conversion pass was cut off, and Bournemouth quickly attacked. David Brooks' cross came up, and Justin Clawibert blew himself up and sent it to center. At this time, Bournemouth took the lead as Evaniusong rushed in and finished.
After that, the first half was tight. Gündoan's shot, which received Holan's pass in the 23rd minute of the first half, was blocked by Kepa. Brooks' header also threatened in Bournemouth's free-kick chance in the 38th minute of the first half, but it was slightly off. Bournemouth laughed in the first half.
Manchester City added Nico O'Reilly at the start of the second half and replaced Husanov. The replacement hit the right spot. In the fourth minute of the second half, Bruyne properly took it out to O'Reilly, who came out with overlapping. O'Reilly's cross went right to Holan, who tackled and pushed it in. The game is at square one.
Manchester City are on alert. In the 11th minute of the second half, Holan collapsed as he was shocked by his calf and knee during the competition. Holan felt something wrong with his body, and medical staff were eventually put in. Holan went back into the stadium but immediately collapsed and demanded a replacement.
Omar Marmusch, who came in as a substitute instead of Holan, gave Manchester City the lead. In the 18th minute of the second half, an attack was made again from O'Reilly's penetration. The pass was blocked, but O'Reilly followed the ball to the end and sent it to Marmusch. Marmusch finished calmly and Manchester City succeeded in turning the tables.

Man City played somewhat defensively after the turnaround. Bournemouth's attack did not threaten Manchester City much. Rather, Manchester City attempted to widen the gap with a counterattack. Guendoan's shot from the attack hit the post in the 37th minute of the second half. Man City took the lead and won the game.
With this victory, Manchester City will compete with Nottingham Forest, this season's sensation team, in the FA Cup semi-finals. If you reach the final, you will face Crystal Palace and Aston Villa winners.
