LONDON (ENGLAND) (ITALPRESS) – An incredible story from the FA Cup. Macclesfield, a team that plays in the National League North, the sixth tier of English football, defeated and eliminated Crystal Palace, Premier League team that came to the match as defending champions, having won the 2025 FA Cup and also conquered the Community Shield.
Yet today, Glasner’s Crystal Palace lost at home to amateur side Macclesfield, who won 2-1 thanks to goals from Dawson (43rd) and Buckley (61st), while only in the 90th minute did the visitors’ consolation goal come, scored by Spaniard Yeremy Pino. It’s a historic result: it’s the first time a non-professional team has eliminated the reigning champions since 1909. And there’s another interesting fact: Managing Macclesfield is John Rooney, brother of English football legend Wayne. An incredible FA Cup.
