Tiverton Town vs Sholing - FA Cup

Tiverton Town, sitting well in their league table, were expected to brush aside non-league opposition but found themselves undone by a disciplined and organised Sholing side. The visitors soaked up early pressure, stayed compact defensively, and made their solitary clear-cut chance count with a clinical finish. Tiverton pushed for an equaliser but lacked the cutting edge to break down a resilient backline, wasting possession in the final third without testing the goalkeeper enough. For Sholing, this is a statement cup upset that will be remembered long into their season, while Tiverton now face awkward questions about their cup mentality despite their league form.
