BRISTOL — Pep Guardiola reached his first final in English soccer as Manchester City ended second-tier Bristol City’s memorable run in the League Cup Tuesday to stay in contention for silverware on four fronts. Man City won the second leg of its semifinal 3-2, with Kevin De Bruyne scoring off the last kick of the game, to advance to the Feb. 26 final at Wembley Stadium 5-3 on aggregate. Chelsea and Arsenal are locked at 0-0 heading into the second leg of the other semifinal Wednesday. Top of the Premier League by 12 points and still in the Champions League and FA Cup, Man City is proving an unstoppable force but needs trophies to back up its exhilarating displays in the first five months of the season. Leroy Sane and Sergio Aguero scored in a seven-minute span around halftime to build on Man City’s 2-1 lead from the first leg at Etihad Stadium two weeks ago. Marlon Pack reduced the deficit in the 64th minute and even though Aden Flint equalized in the fourth minute of stoppage time, there was no way Bristol City was about to add the Premier League leader to its list of top-flight scalps that already included Manchester United, Watford, Stoke, and Crystal Palace in this campaign. Bristol City was attempting to become the first team since Sheffield Wednesday in 1991 to win the League Cup from outside the top flight. Around 180 journalists, broadcasters, and photographers were at Ashton Gate, the club said, for a game being watched in more than 100 countries, putting the second-tier host in the global spotlight. Having needed a late goal from Aguero to earn a first-leg advantage, Man City paid its opponent a compliment by fielding close to a full-strength team for the return match despite being in the middle of a busy period of domestic fixtures. Bristol City bravely tried to press Guardiola’s team all over the field, and was starting to frustrate the Premier League side when Sane struck in the 43rd minute. Hordur Magnusson tried to shepherd the ball out for a goal kick but Bernardo Silva battled to regain possession on the byline. He bundled the ball back to Sane, whose first-time shot with his right foot deflected into the net. Fresh off a hat trick against Newcastle in the league at the weekend, Aguero put the match out of reach of Bristol City in the 50th with a clinical finish at the end of a counterattack. De Bruyne was set free by Sane and the midfielder cut inside and curled a pinpoint pass forward to Aguero. The Argentina striker took one touch and buried a low, angled shot across goalkeeper Luke Steele. City wobbled at the back to concede twice but De Bruyne stroked in Sane’s cross for the winner in the sixth minute of stoppage time. Guardiola won European Cup finals at Wembley as a player with Barcelona in 1992 and as a coach with the same Spanish team in 2011. He has won nine of his 10 finals as a coach from his time at Barcelona and Bayern Munich. Sevilla gets past Atletico Sevilla needed only a few seconds to end Atletico Madrid’s hopes of reaching the Copa del Rey semifinals. Sergio Escudero scored 26 seconds into the match as Sevilla defeated Atletico 3-1 at home Tuesday, advancing 5-2 on aggregate for its second semifinal appearance in three years. Marseille edges Epinal Valere Germain came off the bench to score as Marseille claimed a 2-0 win at fourth-tier outfit Epinal Tuesday to reach the French Cup last 16. Epinal, which pulled off a famous shock victory over Lyon in the 2013 French Cup, frustrated Marseille for long periods on a tricky pitch but were undone by Germain’s 73rd-minute strike and Morgan Sanson’s late second. Midfielder Sanson slotted in to complete the victory with just seconds left of injury time. — Agencies
