6th-tier Macclesfield upset FA Cup holder Palace
Orissa POST
|January 12, 2026
The teams were separated by 117 places in the English soccer pyramid but the Silkmen won 2-1 which, given the difference in league positions, goes down as the most unlikely result in the cup's 155-year history
-
The FA Cup delivered another fairytale result Saturday when sixth-tier Macclesfield — managed by Wayne Rooney's brother — knocked out titleholder Crystal Palace in one of the competition’s greatest upsets.
At the other extreme, Manchester City overwhelmed third-tier Exeter 10-1 in amatch featuring a goal on debut by $87 million signing Antoine Semenyo.
City tying the record for its biggest ever in wasn't the story of the day in the third round, though.
That belonged to Macclesfield, a tiny club from England's north west that was relaunched after its predecessor, Macclesfield Town, was liquidated in 2020 because of debts.
