FA Youth Cup Semi-Final Manchester City 1 Bristol City 0 2/04/24

[heslops barnet]

Attack v defence now. Bristol with everybody behind the ball and hoping on a hoof up the pitch.

We know how that usually ends…….

At last. Pressure told. Good control and turned in.

 

[blue whippet]

Nicely taken goals by Ashton Muir, City lead.

 

[jazzy]

Won 1-0

 

[Fred_Quimby]

That will do. Bristol very tough opponents tonight.

Dada-Mascoll looked a step above everyone else in quality when he came on, and he’s been out injured for 7 months.

Yes they were pretty resolute weren't they, shame for them they lost three players so early on in the game. Not surprised that Muir's goal is the only one they have concede in their cup run.

They were bound to be difficult, that was the only goal they've conceded in the competition.

Good win.

Dada mascoll picked up where he left off before his 7 months out with injury. He’s a superb player in the making.

Some of their lads look like they saw 18 several years ago.

I texted my Swindon Town-supporting mate (against whose team we should have been playing!) that the Bristol lads were the biggest and brawniest youths I'd cast eyes on. We didn't take the chances and openings until one turned up on 80mins. I think we had the edge. Grant didn't really have a save to make. When Muir came on at 60mins I wondered if he'd be the one to turn the game.
