Manchester City fielded a strong side, determined to defeat Newcastle in the FA Cup quarterfinals at Etihad Stadium. Only 12 minutes into the game, the home team scored the first goal.

Bernando Silva broke into the penalty area and swung his right foot to pass in the middle to his colleague, but the ball hit Dan Burn and reversed direction, making it a difficult shot for the opponent’s custodian and causing the Newcastle net to tremble.

Pep praised midfielder Bernardo Silva

When Bernando Silva curled the ball with his left foot in the 31st minute, it struck Botman and changed course, forcing Dubravka to concede. The Green Man had a few more chances in the second half, but he was unable to add any more goals. In any case, the 2-0 triumph also advanced them to the FA Cup semifinals this year.

Man City is still aiming to repeat as champions from the previous campaign. Midfielder Bernardo Silva was lauded by coach Pep Guardiola following the game, saying: “He had a good match today with 2 goals.” Bernardo is adored by all. He is crucial to Man City’s success.

Kevin will return shortly, but we have a busy schedule ahead of us with games against Arsenal, Aston Villa, Crystal Palace, and Real Madrid following the national team break. It will be quite challenging to play a match every three days. I’ve said it a lot: Bernardo is crucial to the team’s performance.”
