Baltimore's brace bags cup for Blues
The Journal
|May 19, 2025
SANDY Baltimore's brace inspired Chelsea to a 3-0 FA Cup final triumph over Manchester United and sealed an unbeaten domestic treble for Sonia Bompastor's serial winners in front of a sell-out Wembley.
-
Bompastor had already led the Blues to League Cup glory and a sixth successive Women’s Super League title in her first season in charge at Chelsea - who became the first side to go through a 22-match WSL campaign without a loss.
Baltimore opened the scoring with a penalty on the stroke of half-time then provided the assist for Catarina Macario to make it 2-0 when she nodded home with six minutes of normal time remaining.
And France international Baltimore denied holders United any chance of a comeback when she lashed home at the start of 10 minutes added time to seal the triumph.
England boss Sarina Wiegman was watching on at Wembley, where Reddit founder Alexis Ohanian, who four days ago announced he had purchased a minority stake in Chelsea’s women’s side, took in the win alongside wife and 23-time tennis grand-slam singles winner Serena Williams.
