Match report
Biffa Scottish Women’s FA Cup Final 2022: Celtic 3-2 Glasgow City (aet)
She Kicks, issue 74, July 2022 p.15
Celtic completed a historic cup double at Tynecastle on 29 May 2022, beating Glasgow City 3-2 after extra time in front of a record Scottish cup-final crowd of 4,345 – and they did it with ten players. Mengyu Shen opened for City and Charlie Wellings added a penalty, her fortieth goal of the season, but Jenna Clark and Lauren Davidson brought Celtic level twice in an end-to-end first half. Jodie Bartle’s red card just before the break might have finished them; instead substitute Isibeal Atkinson slid the winner through Lee Alexander’s legs on 114 minutes. City, beaten by Celtic in the League Cup final in December, ended a season without a trophy for the first time in seventeen years. Fran Alonso called it his best day in football.
