The 2005 FA Cup Final was held at the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff on 21 May 2005 betweenArsenal and Manchester United. In a tense but surprisingly one-sided encounter, Arsenal ran out winners after 120 goalless minutes despite being outplayed throughout the game, becoming the first club to win the cup on penalties. It was the first goalless draw in an FA Cup final since 1912.
The match took place for the fifth consecutive year at the Millennium Stadium, due to the ongoing reconstruction of Wembley Stadium, the final's usual venue. The match was refereed by Rob Styles and he was aided by assistant referees Jim Devine, Paul Canadine and fourth official Neale Barry.
It was Arsenal's tenth FA Cup win and their most recent major trophy to date. Only Manchester United have won the trophy more times (11).
