A penalty kick from Sulley Muntari gave Portsmouth a 1-0 victory over Manchester United in an FA Cup quarterfinal match on Saturday after the Red Devils had one goalkeeper injured and another sent off.

Muntari fired the 78th-minute penalty past Rio Ferdinand. The centerback went in goal after substitute goalkeeper Tomasz Kuszczak, who went on for the injured Edwin van der Sar at halftime, was sent off for hauling down Milan Baros.

The drama came after United missed enough chances to be three goals ahead at Old Trafford with top scorer Cristiano Ronaldo the main culprit. Instead, record 11-time FA Cup winner United is out and Portsmouth, whose only cup win was in 1939, goes into the semifinals, which are being played at Wembley.

Defending champion Chelsea played League Championship club Barnsley in the other cup game later Saturday.

Portsmouth's victory at Old Trafford was its first there since 1957 but the performance of referee Martin Atkinson, who refused to award the home team an early penalty when Sylvain Distin barged Ronaldo over, incensed United manager Alex Ferguson.
