portsmouth fa cup champions

WEMBLEY, England (AP) - Nwankwo Kanu scored a first-half goal Saturday for Portsmouth to beat Cardiff 1-0 and win the FA Cup final for the first time since 1939.

Final Preview
Portsmouth vs. Cardiff City

The Nigerian striker punished a fumble by Cardiff goalkeeper Peter Enkelmann in the 37th minute of the 127th FA Cup final to give manager Harry Redknapp his first major trophy in 25 years of coaching.

Bidding to become the first lower league team to win the famous trophy since West Ham beat Arsenal in 1980, League Championship club Cardiff threatened occasionally. But Kanu had one of the worst misses in the world's oldest domestic cup competition when he hit the post in the 22nd faced by an open goal.
