Crystal Palace Advances to FA Cup Semifinals Under Oliver Glasner

Sat 29th Mar, 2025

In a significant achievement for Crystal Palace, the team has successfully advanced to the semifinals of the FA Cup, driven by the leadership of head coach Oliver Glasner. The Eagles showcased a dominant performance in their quarterfinal match against Fulham, securing a convincing 3-0 victory on Saturday.

The match, played at Craven Cottage, saw Eberechi Eze open the scoring in the 34th minute, followed shortly by Ismaila Sarr's goal in the 38th minute. Edward Nketiah sealed the win with a third goal in the 75th minute, ensuring Crystal Palace's place in the next round of the prestigious tournament.

This victory marks the fifth consecutive win for Crystal Palace across all competitions, a testament to the team's current form as they have triumphed in 10 out of their last 12 competitive matches. As the club continues its pursuit of silverware, they remain hopeful of breaking a long-standing title drought that has persisted throughout their 120-year history. Notably, Crystal Palace has previously reached the FA Cup final on two occasions, in 1990 and 2016, but has yet to secure a significant trophy.

The upcoming semifinals are scheduled to take place at Wembley Stadium during the last weekend of April, with potential opponents including the winners from the matches between Brighton and Nottingham, Preston North End and Aston Villa, and Bournemouth and Manchester City.

Crystal Palace's recent successes under Glasner's management have invigorated the fanbase and created a buzz around the club as they seek to make history.
