Arsenal faces Manchester United in the third round of the FA Cup. After the first half, the score remains goalless, though the game has attracted significant attention.
The teams have been playing rather dull football, with few dangerous chances created near either goal, leaving fans wanting more action.
The most controversial moment of the first half occurred in the 38th minute. During an attack down the right flank, Bruno Fernandes joined the play for the Red Devils. Mazraoui set up the Portuguese midfielder for a shot, but Gabriel Jesus, battling with the United captain, stepped on his foot, causing Fernandes to fall to the ground.
Instead of awarding a foul and a dangerous free-kick, the referee handed Bruno a yellow card for his aggressive reaction to the decision, as the official did not see any infringement. It's worth noting that the VAR system is not in use at this stage of the FA Cup. Referees will only be able to utilize the technology starting from the quarterfinals.
