Deep in stoppage time, Dario Vidosic’s staff tried to ask him about plans for extra time, but the Brighton head coach just had a feeling. “Just wait... I feel like it’s coming here.” He was right. Nadine Noordam pounced on a loose ball in the box from a free-kick and completed a remarkable comeback to book Brighton a place at Wembley for the first time in their women’s team’s history.The substitute’s 95th-minute winner saw Brighton fight back from 2-0 down to win a classic Women’s FA Cup semi-final and leave Liverpool with a sense of despair, deja vu and heartbreak, as they were beaten in stoppage-time in the semi-finals of this competition for the second season running.
