The former Bundesliga coach Oliver Glasner reaches for the FA Cup with Crystal Palace. The Austrian team won 3-0 (1-0) against the Champions League quarter finalist Aston Villa in the first semi-finals in the Wembley Stadium in London.
After the game had started, Palace had the first big moment. Eberechi Eze (31st minute) shot the ball perfectly under the crossbar and put the Glasner team in the lead. The second goal was also worth seeing: Ismaila Sarr (58th) also scored from more than 82,000 spectators to the 2-0 lead for the Premier League team from London.
Palace has never won the trophy
The former Mainz Jean-Philippe Mateta even awarded a penalty (53.) shortly after half-time. But even after that there was no rearing from Aston Villa. Sarr (90.+4) increased to 3-0 for Palace shortly before the end. The opponent in the final on May 17th is either Nottingham Forest or Manchester City who meet on Sunday.

Glasner once trained VfL Wolfsburg and Eintracht Frankfurt in Germany. With the Hesse, the 50-year-old triumphed in the Europa League in 2022. Glasner is also the first trainer from Austria in the English Cup final. Crystal Palace could now help the greatest success in club history. In 1990 and 2016, Palace lost to Manchester United in the final.
