FA Cup Official: The replay mechanism will be cancelled in the third and fourth rounds, and the winner or loser will be decided on the spot

According to the official website of the English FA Cup, the third and fourth rounds of the FA Cup this season will cancel the replay mechanism.

Due to the impact of the new crown epidemic, some competitions in various leagues in England have been postponed recently, and in order to avoid overcrowding in the future, the board of directors of the FA Cup on December 17, local time, discussed and approved the plan to cancel the replay.

It is reported that once there is a draw in the third and fourth rounds of the FA Cup, there will be no more replays, and the game will be decided through extra time and even penalty shootouts. In addition, starting next season, matches after the fourth round of the FA Cup (including the fourth round) will be video replayed.
