In a thrilling FA Cup quarterfinal, Manchester City came from behind to defeat Bournemouth 2-1 at the Vitality Stadium. Evanilson put Bournemouth ahead in the first half, but City quickly equalized through Erling Haaland shortly after halftime. The decisive goal came from substitute Omar Marmoush, securing City's semifinal berth at Wembley. Both teams faced significant injury challenges with key players missing, but City’s resilience and depth ultimately led to their victory despite a fierce performance from Bournemouth.
"Bournemouth started well enough, pressing high up the pitch and forcing Ederson into misplaced long passes or risky short balls and turns inside his own penalty area."
"It was Evanilson who broke the deadlock in the 21st minute and put the home side ahead, but Erling Haaland equalized with just over three minutes of the second half gone."
"The final score and City's victory was the work of substitute Omar Marmoush in the 63rd minute."
"Andoni Iraola had some big names missing from his back line, with the in-demand duo of Dean Huijsen and Milos Kerkez suspended."
