Manchester United and Manchester City face each other in an evenly matched FA Cup final where both clubs are giving everything to take home the trophy. An early goal by Gundogan surprised everyone after it fell in the first minute of play and silenced the rivals.

 

However, Manchester United was able to equalize thanks to a goal by Bruno Fernandes, but in the first half, a controversy that is going around the world is claimed by Manchester City, as it could be the expulsion of a key player in Manchester United.

It is no secret how aggressive Casemiro is every time he is on the pitch. However, the player arrived late to a divided ball against Akanji, but the referee decided to continue and did not show any kind of signal to the Brazilian. A situation that infuriated the entire English bench and Guardiola claimed.

The Brazilian player has continued to be late on more than one occasion in the match. The player has accumulated more than two tackles, but all are allowed by the referee of the match. However, seeing the images of Casemiro's first foul, everyone is calling for the player to be sent off.

How did Casemiro hit Manuel Akanji?

The Brazilian did not hesitate and hit the Swiss player on his right ankle. Curiously, the referee did not signal anything at all against the Brazilian midfielder. In fact, he ended up calling a foul on Casemiro for a previous action, despite the fact that the Brazilian almost knocked out Manuel Akanji's foot.
