Sixth-tier team knocks out Crystal Palace, Xhaka scores in Sunderland's FA Cup win

The FA Cup is the oldest football competition in England and beyond, a tournament that always delivers surprises. In today's matches played so far, the big surprise comes from Macclesfield, a team from the Sixth Division, who won 2-1 against Crystal Palace, thus eliminating the reigning FA Cup champions.

In other matches, Leicester won 0-2 away at Cheltenham, while Wolverhampton 6-1 at Shrewsbury. In the other match, Everton-Sunderland, regular time ended in a 1-1 draw. Enzo Le Fi scored the first for the visitors in the 30th minute, while James Garner equalized for the home team from the penalty spot, at the end of regular time.

The score remained unchanged after extra time, so both teams resorted to "Russian roulette", where Sunderland players proved to be more accurate. James Garner, Tierno Berry, and Beto all three were wrong for the home team. Le Fe, Xhaka, and O'Nien were correct for the visitors.
