Man United eliminated Arsenal in FA Cup and Altay Bayindir was hero

Manos Staramopoulos • 13 de enero de 2025

Turkish goalkeeper, who saved the penalty of the German, Kai Havertz, sent his team to the "32" phase of the FA Cup, throwing out the... chatty Arsenal. Also stopped a penalty from Odegaard and made several saves.

Altay Bayindir turkish goalkeeper of Manchester United, was hero for several saves.

“Seven-souled” Manchester United, even with 10 players, held on at the Emirates Stadium and after keeping the score at 1-1 in normal time, prevailed in the penalty shootout 5-3 over Arsenal, with the excellent Turkish Altay Bayindir under their goalposts, who was the great protagonist of qualifying for the 4th round of the FA Cup!


Amorim's team proves that its important away games "fit in". Thus, Manchester United, a few days after the draw at "Anfield" (2-2), also held out in London at Arsenal's home. Despite the fact that from the 61st minute when the Portuguese was sent off with a second yellow card, Dalot played with 10 players, he did not give up.


The regular period ended 1-1, things did not change in extra time and United, with the "hero" of the tall (1.98) Turkish goalkeeper Altay Bayindir who saved the penalty of the German, Kai Havertz, sent his team to the "32" phase of the FA Cup, throwing out the... chatty Arsenal.


The Gunners controlled the game in the first half and created chances mainly from set pieces, but United defended well. In fact, the only chance belonged to the visitors. In the 24th minute, 29-year-old Spanish goalkeeper Raya blocked the shot of international midfielder, Kobbie Mainoo.


Mikel Arteta saw the Brazilian Jesus, who had been in form during this period, leave on a stretcher in the 40th minute. He was injured by stepping on his foot badly after a tackle on Portuguese Bruno Fernandes!.


In the second half, the game became a derby as it should be! United opened the scoring in the 52nd minute with Garnacho stealing the ball in midfield from central midfielder Gabriel Magalhaes. He went on the counterattack and passed to Fernandes at the right moment. The Portuguese international capitalised on the move to make it 1-0 for the Red Devils.”


In the 61st minute, Madley showed Dalot his second yellow card after a challenge on Merino, leaving United with 10 men. Arsenal immediately took advantage of their numerical advantage. Gabriel, with a wonderful curled shot in the... forehand position, sent the ball into the net for 1-1 (63').


The moment that shocked everyone came in the 69th minute, when referee Mandley awarded a penalty for Maguire's challenge on Havertz, sending the away players into a frenzy. Here we must note that the use of VAR in the institution is from the 5th round onwards.


The execution was taken by the Norwegian, Martín Odegaard, but the Turkish Altay Bayindir made an impressive save! The Turkish goalkeeper then made two more decisive interventions on Rice, in 76' and 90+4', keeping United upright. Thus, the regular period ended 1-1, so the match was led to extra time.


There, hearts were "broken" with both teams having their moments. The first good moment of extra time belonged to Arsenal. In 94' Rice once again found himself in a shooting position inside the area, but the Dutch stopper De Ligt made a decisive block on the Englishman's shot. A little later, the Dutchman again made a crucial save before Belgian striker Trossard pushed the ball into the net. United responded with their greatest moment after Fernandes’ goal, with Zirkzee ’s shot from inside the area being cleared for a corner by Raya!. And then we had the penalty shootout where the towering Turk Altay Bayindir did a great job…
