In today's FA Cup third round match, English sixth-tier team Macclesfield defeated Crystal Palace 2-1 at home to advance.

Macclesfield currently plays in the sixth tier of English football, Northern Premier League, while Crystal Palace are the reigning FA Cup champions. Statistically, Macclesfield becomes the first non-league team to eliminate the FA Cup defending champions since the 1908-09 season.

It's worth noting that Crystal Palace were also eliminated back then; Wolverhampton Wanderers were playing in the second tier of English football, League Two, and they also won the FA Cup that season.

In this match, Macclesfield took the lead with goals from Paul Dawson and Buckley Ricketts, but Pino pulled one back for Crystal Palace before the final whistle, resulting in a 2-1 victory for Macclesfield.
