Stoke City were making their first appearance in the final. He scored a magnificent century under pressure against the mighty Australian team in the finals of the 1996 World Cup. Many iconic players have represented their nations in the elite cricket tournament until now. [3][12] Stoke City manager Tony Pulis said "Manchester City were the better team and deserved to win",[13] but expressed "disappointment" at his team's display. Players who have managed to perform exceptionally in such situations are revered and immortalized in the history of cricket sport. Tevez managed to pass to Silva, but Silva was guilty of over-elaboration instead of shooting first-time, and the Stoke City defence managed to regroup, dispossessing Silva before he could adjust himself to shoot at goal.[65]. As Premier League clubs, they entered the competition in the third round. The parade culminated in a special reception at the stadium, where 40,000 who claimed free tickets for the event were waiting. [84] The parade finally reached Ashton New Road where thousands supporters were waiting at the gates of the City of Manchester Stadium to welcome the team home.
However, in the 74th minute,[65] Sørensen was powerless to prevent Yaya Touré's effort from ten yards when he pounced on a stray ball in the penalty area to thrash his thunderous shot with his left foot past Sørensen in front of the travelling thousands of Manchester City supporters. The final took place on 14 May 2011 at Wembley Stadium in London in front of 88,643 spectators and a British television audience of more than eight million. [6] ITV held the majority of the viewership, with a peak audience of 8.1 million during the last 30 minutes of the final and averaged at 6.68 million,[77] their highest viewing figures for an FA Cup since the competition moved to ITV from the BBC in 2009. To celebrate their victory, Manchester City held an open-top bus parade on 23 May 2011, beginning at Manchester Town Hall and ending at the City of Manchester Stadium; it attracted a crowd of up to 100,000. Following a supporter campaign, Manchester City dedicated the match to former striker Neil Young, who was terminally ill.[17] Young scored the winning goal when Manchester City and Leicester City met in the 1969 FA Cup Final. Doubts over Matthew Etherington's fitness resurfaced when he was taken off in the 63rd minute,[66] with Stoke City still in the game at 0–0 as it stood. [37], Stoke's fifth round match was at home against League One leaders Brighton & Hove Albion. The cheapest tickets available at £45, up £5 from 2010. The then Sri Lankan skipper Arjuna Ranatunga also played a crucial cameo to support de Silva during the chase. In the 2015 edition of the tournament, he made the record his own against Windies. [29] In the semi-final, at Wembley Stadium, City defeated rivals Manchester United 1–0 with a Yaya Touré goal,[30] and continued their FA Cup semi-final record of nine victories out of 11, reaching the FA Cup Final for the first time since 1981. He then constructed crucial partnerships with Kumar Sangakkara, Thilan Samaraweera, and Nuwan Kulasekara to take his team to a decent first innings total of 274 after the end of 50 overs.
The West Indian legend also overtook Kapil Dev's 175* to record the highest-ever individual score at the World Cup at that time. For a long time they didn't win. India and West Indies have won the trophy twice. In the 2011 FA Community Shield match in August, the FA Cup winners Manchester City lost 3–2 to Manchester United after creating a 2–0 lead at half time. The most expensive tickets cost £115, an increase of 22 per cent on the previous season. [35] Stoke defender Robert Huth was a central figure in the match. [20] Before half-time, two Manchester City goals in 90 seconds shifted the momentum of the match. [51][55], As for every match in the 2010–11 FA Cup, the ball for the final was provided by Nike-owned, Manchester-based sports equipment company Umbro. The 2011 FA Cup Final was the 130th final of the FA Cup, the world's oldest domestic football cup competition. Redknapp stated that if Manchester City won the final, it would then be in Stoke City's interest to lose against Manchester City in the league match, as it would make Europa League qualification for Stoke more likely. Champions League qualification was settled four days before the final, when Manchester City beat Tottenham Hotspur 1–0 in a league match. A total of 11 World Cup tournaments have been played until now.
The match took place on 1 March 2015 and Sri Lanka scored 312/7 to mark a victory in 47.2 overs. Villa manager Gérard Houllier rested several senior players, in contrast to a near full-strength Manchester City line-up. Yaya Touré unleashed a 30-yard strike in the 11th minute which went only inches wide of the top corner of the goal,[65] while Mario Balotelli had a curling shot from the corner of the penalty area in the 24th minute which was destined for the goal but for a strong, one-handed save from Sørensen.
[38] Stoke then faced West Ham United in the sixth round. Stoke had a number of chances in the later stages of the match, but Cardiff held out for a replay. He came into bat at number 4 after his team had lost both their inform openers cheaply with just 23 runs on the scoreboard. Stoke, also a Premier League side, entered the competition at the third round stage, where they were drawn at home to Welsh side Cardiff City.
A total of six players have scored a century in the finals of the World Cup until now. [41] In the semi-final, Stoke beat Bolton Wanderers comfortably, winning 5–0. [81], Manchester City elected not to parade the trophy at the match as they did not wish to be seen as 'crass' in front of the visiting Stoke City supporters. The match was Stoke City's first FA Cup final, and Manchester City's ninth. He scored an unbeaten 237 from 163 balls that included 24 fours and 11 sixes. The Umbro Neo Pro features a 14-panel design, and is patterned in blue and red. [63], Manchester City started sprightly, managing to create some chances which forced saves from Stoke goalkeeper Thomas Sørensen and steady defending to keep Stoke City in the game in the first half. Manchester City's fifth round match was against Aston Villa at the City of Manchester Stadium. [69], As President of the FA since 2006, Prince William, Duke of Cambridge is a frequent guest of honour at the FA Cup final, attending the 2007 and 2010 finals, but his recent marriage to Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge meant he could not attend. When Frédéric Piquionne equalised for West Ham, the decision to award the goal infuriated Stoke; in controlling the ball Piquionne committed what Stoke manager Tony Pulis called a "stonewall" handball. Stoke took a three-goal lead in less than half an hour after goals from Etherington, Huth and Kenwyne Jones. Ireland had a run rate of 6.69 and with this, it chased a score of 329 that set a record in the history of the Cricket World Cup. The 2011 FA Cup Final was the 130th final of the FA Cup, the world's oldest domestic football cup competition. [71] Corporal Ward presented the trophy to the winning captain, Carlos Tevez, after the game. So, when it comes to chasing, Ireland tops the list.
