It was all a bit too tense for Casemiro at the end of the penalty shootout…
After 120 minutes of action with no goals to break the deadlock, a penalty shootout was the only way to decide the tie.
12 consecutive penalties found the back of the net before Brighton and Hove Albion’s Solly March fired his effort over the crossbar, leaving Victor Lindelof the opportunity to seal Manchester United’s fate.
The centre-back stepped up to take his deciding penalty, whilst Casemiro opted to turn and face away from the goal and towards the United fans across the other side of Wembley Stadium.
The roar from the supporters and his teammates then alerted the Brazilian to confirm that Lindelof had exceptionally converted his spot-kick, meaning the Red Devils are FA Cup finalists.
