The own goal left the home crowd stunned, and Birmingham City fans ecstatic. This unexpected turn of events not only sent the away supporters into raptures but also gave their team a priceless boost in morale. The underdogs went on to secure a historic victory, with a 2-0 scoreline, and advanced to the next round of the FA Cup.
