Coventry ke semifinal Piala FA setelah tumbangkan Wolves 3-2
Coventry City made history on Saturday as they secured a spot in the FA Cup semi-finals for the first time in over 30 years. The Sky Blues put on a stunning performance to defeat Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-2 in a thrilling quarter-final clash at the Ricoh Arena.
Coventry got off to a flying start, taking the lead in the 10th minute through a goal from striker Callum O’Hare. The home side continued to dominate the first half, with Gustavo Hamer doubling their lead with a well-taken strike from outside the box.
Wolves fought back in the second half, with goals from Raul Jimenez and Ruben Neves leveling the score at 2-2. However, Coventry refused to be disheartened and continued to press forward in search of a winner.
Their efforts paid off in the 85th minute when Viktor Gyokeres scored the decisive goal, sending the Ricoh Arena into raptures and sealing Coventry’s place in the FA Cup semi-finals.
Manager Mark Robins was understandably delighted with his team’s performance, praising their fighting spirit and determination to come out on top against a strong Wolves side.
“This is a historic moment for the club and the fans. To reach the semi-finals of the FA Cup is a fantastic achievement and a testament to the hard work and dedication of the players,” Robins said after the game.
Coventry will now face either Manchester City or Southampton in the semi-finals, with a chance to book their place in the final at Wembley Stadium. The Sky Blues last reached the FA Cup final in 1987, where they famously defeated Tottenham Hotspur to lift the trophy.
Fans of the club are understandably excited about the prospect of another trip to Wembley and will be hoping that their team can continue their impressive run in the competition.
With the momentum firmly on their side, Coventry City will be looking to cause another upset in the semi-finals and write another chapter in their storied FA Cup history. The Sky Blues have shown that they have the quality and determination to compete with the best, and they will be hoping to make the most of this opportunity to etch their names into FA Cup folklore once again.
