U.S. men's national team defender Chris Richards started and played every minute in the victory
Crystal Palace won their first-ever major trophy on Saturday, upsetting Pep Guardiola's Manchester City 1-0 in the FA Cup final. It was Palace's third appearance in the final in their history, and it proved to be the charm as Eberechi Eze's goal in the first half was the difference, ending Kevin de Bruyne's City career with a defeat as the club legend is set to depart this summer. City have now gone trophyless on the campaign for the first time since 2016-17.
United States men's national team players Chris Richards and Matt Turner take home winners' medals as a result of this upset. Richards played every single minute of the match, while Turner was the backup goalkeeper.
Palace got off to a stronger start, needing just 16 minutes to put away the opener. Jean-Philippe Mateta did well to control the ball in the middle of the pitch before playing a quick one-two before finding right back Daniel Munoz down the right. The Colombian took one touch before playing a powerful ball about knee high across the heart of the box, where Eze managed to put away into the far post.
