Manchester United reached their first-ever Women's League Cup final, edging Arsenal 1-0 in a scrappy semi-final. Elisabeth Terland scored the decisive goal just before halftime, capitalizing on a poor pass from Arsenal's Anneke Borbe. The match was decided by a single moment of quality in a game where chances were scarce.

Arsenal dominated possession but failed to convert their opportunities, with Frida Maanum missing several early chances. The Gunners' night worsened when Olivia Smith was sent off on the hour mark after receiving a second yellow card for a frustrated foul. Playing a player down, Arsenal pushed for an equalizer but couldn't breach Manchester United's defense.

The victory sends Manchester United to their first League Cup final, where they will meet defending champions Chelsea at Ashton Gate on March 15. For Arsenal, it's a disappointing exit from a competition they have won before. The result adds another chapter to the growing rivalry between these two WSL contenders.
