FA Cup Final

Wow what a scorching final! The FA Cup Final match happened on May 5th at Wembley Stadium, London, UK. A very high paced, full game of football for both teams. This game of Chelsea verse Liverpool is underway. Chelsea opened up the scoring with a through ball to Ramires who finished with a nice ball to the bottom corner. Mata with the assist. In the second half, Lampard, with a wonderful pass to Drogba, then Drogba controls and hits it to the bottom right corner through a defense-men's leg. Beautiful strike, Chelsea up 2-0. A few minutes later, Bosingwa gives up the ball and Liverpool's striker, Carrol, is wide open, deeks out 2 defenders, and takes the shot. Cech had no chance, and now Liverpool is back in the game. Chelsea 2-1 Liverpool. In the 70th minute, Liverpool with great ball movement finds Carrol's head in the 6-yard box by himself. He heads it strongly, but Cech makes one of the best saves I've seen from him. Keeps the ball out and saves Chelsea the game. What a final! 89,102 people in attendance in the wonderful Wembley Stadium. Liverpool got 18 shots off, 10 of which were on target, 7 corners, and 4 off-sides. Chelsea got 14 shots, and only 6 of which were on target, 1 corner and 3 off-sides. Ball percentage was Chelsea 45%-55% Liverpool, but none of the stats matter if you can't get the results. We saw this during the Champions League semi-finals with Barcelona. I found something very interesting with this win actually. This is John Terry's 4th victory in the FA Cup Finals as captain of a team. Also, this is Didier Drogba's 4th FA Cup Final where he has scored a goal in each game. Breaking records is what Chelsea is here for! Great job boys, lets get ready for Champions League Final!
