Crystal Palace secured a 2-0 victory over League Two side Doncaster Rovers in the FA Cup on Monday, booking a spot in the fifth round where they will face Championship side Millwall on the March 1-2 weekend.
Palace’s Goals Seal the Win
Despite playing three divisions above Doncaster, Crystal Palace took 31 minutes to break the deadlock. A well-executed free-kick routine saw Daichi Kamada pass the ball along the ground to Jean-Philippe Mateta, whose shot hit the post. However, Daniel Muñoz was in the right place to tap in the rebound, giving Palace the lead.
Doncaster started the second half with renewed energy, but their comeback hopes were dashed in the 55th minute. Will Hughes delivered a perfectly flighted pass to Justin Devenny, who executed a delicate lob over the goalkeeper, doubling Palace’s lead.
Comfortable Victory for Palace
Although Doncaster kept pressing, the gap in quality was clear, and Palace comfortably controlled the remainder of the match to see out the victory.
