FA Cup: Ledley Strike Ends Barnsley Dream

Barnsley has had a dream run in this FA Cup, what with their last-second goal to win at Liverpool and their 1-0 upset at home over Chelsea. Alas, their semfinal trip to Wembley stadium proved to be the end of their journey, as this 9th-minute wonderstrike by Cardiff City's Joe Ledley gave the Welsh club a 1-0 win over Barnsley. Kayode Odejay had a shot to equalize in the 67th minute, but he shockingly missed a wide open shot, and Barnsley didn't get another chance to score.

Cardiff advances to its first FA Cup Final since 1927. The Coca-Cola Championship side faces Portsmouth, who hasn't been to the FA Cup Final since 1939. The question remains, though -- if Cardiff wins, will the FA let the Welsh club take an English spot in the UEFA Cup?
