Crystal Palace emerged victorious in the FA Cup final, securing the club's first major trophy by defeating Manchester City 1-0 at Wembley Stadium.
Eberechi Eze scored the only goal of the match, highlighting a well-executed counterattack by Crystal Palace.
The sequence began with precise passing from the back, culminating in Daniel Munoz delivering a low cross into the penalty area, where Eze connected with a direct shot that found the bottom right corner of the net.
In the first half, Manchester City was awarded a penalty in the 34th minute when Bernardo Silva was brought down inside the box.
However, Egyptian forward Omar Marmoush missed the opportunity, as his shot aimed at the bottom right corner was anticipated and saved by Crystal Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson.
Second-half developments included a disallowed goal for Crystal Palace when Munoz found the back of the net in the 58th minute, only for the effort to be ruled offside after a VAR review indicated that Ismaïla Sarr had interfered with play.
As the match progressed, Manchester City had a notable chance in the 82nd minute when Claudio Echeverri, unmarked within the penalty area, unleashed a shot that was expertly blocked by Henderson, maintaining Crystal Palace's slim lead.
This victory marks a significant milestone in Crystal Palace's nearly 120-year history, as they clinch their first major title in club history.
