Hey there, football fans! Guess what? Crystal Palace just did something amazing! They beat the mighty Manchester City 1-0 to win the FA Cup for the first time ever! Isn’t that incredible?

In the 16th minute, Eberechi Eze scored a fantastic goal after a quick counterattack, thanks to a great pass from Daniel Munoz. The fans went wild! 🎉
Later in the first half, Manchester City had a chance to tie the game when they got a penalty kick. Omar Marmoush stepped up to take it, but Palace’s goalkeeper, Dean Henderson, made an amazing save! 🧤🚫
Manchester City tried really hard, having the ball for almost 77% of the game and taking 23 shots! But Crystal Palace’s defense was super strong, and they held on to their lead.
After the final whistle, the Palace players received their medals and lifted the trophy, given to them by Prince William! 👑 The fans were overjoyed, singing and celebrating this historic win.
The team’s manager, Oliver Glasner, said, “It was our day. It was the day for our fans, and it just had to happen that we win.” What a proud moment for the club!
