We take a look at the TWENTY-EIGHT upsets that were caused in the FA Cup Preliminary Round which were played out over the weekend.
For many non league sides, they played their first competitive match since having their season halted in March then deemed null and void with some many missing out on promotion, playoffs and avoiding relegation.
Matches from the second preliminary round of the world’s oldest association football single knockout competition went ahead over the last few days, but with a difference.
Due to coronavirus lockdown rules, some ties were played behind closed doors or restricted amount of spectators, though for some clubs, they had their biggest ever attendance.
There were astonishingly twenty-eight upsets in the FA Cup Preliminary Round, and most of them were settled by a penalty shootout.
That was the case at Isthmian League South Central Division side Tooting & Mitcham United, with celebratory scenes coming from Southern Counties East Football League outfit Fisher.
