FA Cup 2004-05
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The FA Cup 2004–05 was the 124th edition of the world's oldest football competition, the Football Association Challenge Cup, or FA Cup.
The competition began on 28 August 2004, with the lowest-ranked of the entrants competing in the Extra Preliminary Round. For England's top 44 clubs, from the Premier League and Football League Championship, the FA Cup began at the Third Round in January.
Ties were all single-legged and took place at the stadium of the club drawn first. If scores were level at the end of a match, the match was replayed at the away club's stadium, usually in the middle of the following week. If the scores are still level, extra-time and penalties (if necessary) are used to determine a winner. From the semi-finals onwards, the ties take place at a neutral stadium, and there are no replays. That is to say, extra-time and penalties are played if necessary to determine a winner in a single match.
The new Wembley Stadium was still at least a year away from being ready for use, so the final was staged at the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff on 21 May 2005. The FA Cup Final was won by Arsenal on penalties after a goalless draw with Manchester United, the first time that the FA Cup Final had been decided on penalties.
