There was plenty of FA Cup First Round action this afternoon with a fair few Non League sides against teams from the English Football League and once again we saw some upsets.
The first one that came in was Dover Athletic when 19-year-old Ruel Sotiriou came on as a late substitute, on his debut, to dump Sol Campbell’s Southend out.
What a moment for Dover Athletic ?
19-year-old Ruel Sotiriou comes on as a late sub, on his debut, and becomes an #EmiratesFACup hero!

And lastly, some would say upset, others wouldn’t as Kingstonian knocked out a much weakened and young Macclesfield Town side by putting four past them.
.@KingstonianFC are 2-0 up against League Two @thesilkmen.
First shock of the day?
