London: Crystal Palace’s manager, Oliver Glasner, was pretty happy after his team got the job done against Stockport. They moved on to the fourth round of the FA Cup, which is always a good feeling.
The match kicked off at Selhurst Park, and the Eagles wasted no time. Eberechi Eze scored a fantastic goal just four minutes in, curling it past the Stockport keeper, Corey Addai. It was a great start!
Stockport didn’t just sit back, though. They had a few chances to level things up. One moment stood out when Isaac Olaofe almost got one past Palace’s Matt Turner but couldn’t quite finish it off.
In the closing minutes, Jefferson Lerma had a chance to seal the deal but ended up sending his shot over the bar. It was a bit of a letdown, but the team held on for the win.
Next up, Crystal Palace will be heading to face Doncaster Rovers in the next round. Glasner mentioned how important it was to win and how they controlled the game well, even if they missed a few chances.
He reflected on the match, saying it’s been a bit of a theme this season—creating chances but not always finishing them. Still, he was pleased with the team’s attitude and seriousness going into the game.
