A cagey opening 20 minutes set the pace for a match that at times seemed more like the Community Shield than the first FA Cup final at an immaculate new stadium. The first shot on target only arrived after twenty minutes, with Paulo Ferreira creeping forward and slipping a pass in for Frank Lampard, who forced Van Der Sar to make a smart low save.
A relief for most spectators at half time, the two best teams in the country which have both played over sixty games this season couldn't produce any styly premiership football.
Things lightened up a bit in the second half. Paul Scholes picked out Giggs to volley just over the top as the champions showed the odd glimpse of the stylish side that dominated the Premiership. At the other end a curling free-kick, from Drogba that clipped the outside of the post. For the rest of the second half it was basically united, but nothing to lighten up the game. The cup final was heading for extra time.
Both sides had glorious chances to break the deadlock at the end of the first period of extra time. Giggs somehow managed to pick out Cech with the goal at his mercy as he slid on to a Rooney cross and then Drogba headed into the side-netting from an equally promising position.
The game looked like it was heading for a penalty shoot out, but in the one hundredth and sixteenth minute Drogba and Lampard exchanged passes, and the golden winner boot winner chipped the ball over Van Der Sar to score the first F.A Cup goal at the new Wembly and to secure Chelsea victory. Jose has done it.
A chance for 'the special one' to relax and to look forward to next season. For Fergies men it's a sad ending to a season that united dominated .
In the end, it's a proud day for english football the F.A Cup is back to the place it belongs in a stadium that is sure to bring England some amazing football in the near future.
