The penalties were exceptional and Lindelof was the hero at the end. He flattened an early free kick from Alexis Mac Allister and made good saves from Julio Enciso and Solly March in the shootout.
He got a good sliding tackle on Kaoru Mitoma and improved in the final third after the break. He embarked on a spirited dribble more comfortable on the right side of the defence, but had a shaky second half and an error led to two Brighton chances.
Manchester United qualified for the FA Cup final by beating Brighton in a penalty shootout after equalizing (0-0) the 120 minutes of regulation time. Among all the figures in the group directed by Ten Hag, one appeared who did not have the best week for him: David de Gea. The Spanish goalkeeper was the main culprit for the fact that the match did not end sooner in favor of Brighton and made March despair, who did everything possible to beat him, but De Gea was enormous.
In the penalty shootout, with two Spanish goalkeepers under the sticks, David ended up triumphing over Robert Sánchez, who also had an excellent match. It was not the best of his weeks, but football always returns one to David de Gea. After the elimination in the Europa League against Sevilla, where he had a game to forget, the Spanish goalkeeper once again gave a lesson on how to rebuild himself and was the best footballer for the Red Devils.
Because United's week could have ended up being fateful. After saying goodbye to the European competition, the FA Cup was his only way to bite metal and against Brighton he showed no ambition. The seagulls were better, spurred on by a great March and an excellent Mitoma. Both were stopped by De Gea, who stopped everything they threw at him.
