FACup (Fakup) is a men's knockout soccer cup named and sponsored by the English Football Association. The FA Cup is the oldest football match in the world. Football clubs at all levels in England hold one-on-one knockout matches. In the FA Cup, it often happens that low-level clubs eliminate high-level clubs. There is no seed team in the FA Cup, and the match and home and away games are completely decided by lottery.
The competition is divided into eight rounds. The first two rounds were given to amateurs, English Football League I and English Football League II teams, and English Football Premier League and English Football Champions League teams joined the competition in the third round. The competition is divided into eight rounds. Before the final of 1/4, if each round is tied within 90 minutes, a replay is needed. In the rematch, the two teams will exchange home and away games. If the rematch is tied within 90 minutes, it will take extra time to decide the outcome. If overtime doesn't decide the outcome, it will be decided by penalty kick.
Surprise to win the FA Cup Introduction:
1, Wigan Athletic 1-0 Manchester City (20 12/ 13 season)
20 12/ 13 season FA Cup final was held at Wembley Stadium, and relegation team Wigan Athletic challenged upstart Manchester City. The two teams played against each other nearly seven times, and Manchester City won the game without losing a goal. However, Manchester City's sewer capsized, iron guard Pablo Zabaleta turned red, and Wigan Athletic Raiders headed the goal at 9 1 minute. In the end, Wigan Athletic, hovering on the edge of relegation, beat Blue Moon with a score of 1, becoming the first Premier League team to win the FA Cup final for the first time.
2. Everton 1-0 Manchester United (1994/95 season)
Although the Red Devils lost the league title to Blackburn Rovers that season, no one believed that Manchester United would miss the trophy in the FA Cup final. The Red Devils' opponent was Everton, who ranked only 15 in the league, but the only goal in the game was scored by Paul Lidot, a toffee player. In the end, Everton 1 goal ended Manchester United and won the championship. It is worth mentioning that during the 12 years after Everton, the FA Cup was won by the four giants of the Premier League (Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool).
