LONDON, May 18 (Bernama-QNA) -- Crystal Palace has made history by winning the FA Cup for the first time, defeating Manchester City 1-0 in the final held at Wembley Stadium on Saturday evening, Qatar News Agency (QNA) reported.

The victory came courtesy of Eberechi Eze, who netted the decisive goal in the 16th minute, securing Palace's long-awaited triumph.

Manchester City had a chance to equalise in the 36th minute, but Egyptian international Omar Marmoush missed a crucial penalty.
