Manchester City secured a dominant 4-0 victory over Brighton in the Women's FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium, claiming the trophy for the first time since 2020. Brighton, who had beaten City in the league earlier this season but could not stop them from winning the title, started brightly in their debut final appearance. However, the momentum shifted dramatically when Alex Greenwood scored deep into first-half stoppage time, sending City into the break with a 2-0 lead.
First Half: Brighton's Early Promise
Brighton began the match with confidence, pressing high and creating several early chances. Their attacking play troubled City's defense, but they failed to convert any opportunities. City gradually took control, and their persistence paid off when they opened the scoring midway through the first half. Greenwood's goal just before halftime proved decisive, as Brighton's morale visibly dropped.
Second Half: City's Dominance
In the second half, Manchester City continued to dominate possession and added two more goals to seal the win. The team's clinical finishing and solid defensive organization ensured Brighton could not mount a comeback. The victory capped off a remarkable season for City, who also won the Women's Super League title.
The final was played in front of a record crowd at Wembley, highlighting the growing popularity of women's football. Manchester City's triumph marks their third FA Cup win in four years, cementing their status as one of the top teams in England.
