The FA Cup loves to throw out surprises.
An old rivalry rekindled in the world's oldest cup competition.
Ezeta Hughes looking for the run of Mateta, who's in behind here.
Out comes the goalkeeper, gets the ball.
A loss of Mateta too. And Munoz
tried his luck, stops on the line.
But Palace are asking big questions here.
Michael Oliver has a big decision to make.
Well, that surely is a dangerous challenge from the Millwall goalkeeper.
Studs flying into the face of Jean-Philippe Mateta.
Oliver Glasner is absolutely furious.
Well, checking for serious foul play.
The studs in the face of Jean-Philippe Mateta.
And Michael Oliver is heading across to the screen to have a look.
Well, the referee is mulling over his decision.
There's real concern over Jean-Philippe Mateta, who's down.
Less than eight minutes in and Millwall reduced to ten men.
Fireworks straight away.
Dangerous ball in.
First touch for Jenson to not clear. Hughes.
He turned to Chilwell and Ketya is there.
And Ketya!
The goal won't stand.
What has the referee spotted here?
Chilwell up.
Did it come off the hand of Eddie and Ketya?
The VAR will, of course, have a look.
This replay may show more clearly.
Did strike the hand of Ketya.
Here's Ezek.
And now Ketya gets a shot away, deflected.
Jenson got down and the pace and power has been taken off in Ketya's effort.
Great run from Ezek.
Ketya looks like he has Munoz on the outside and finds Munoz.
And the ball in towards Ketya.
Denied by Jenson.
Chilwell made the run in behind, Gaye instead looks for Hughes.
And flicked on towards Chilwell!
A big chance for his first Palace goal.
Denied by Jenson.
Ezek takes short.
Here's Hughes.
Back to Ezek.
Running out as far as Hughes.
A difficult one for Chilwell to deal with.
Takes it in his stride.
Advantage played.
Hughes! And in!
It will go down as an own goal.
But the red and blue touch paper has well and truly been lit.
Will Hughes has been at the centre of everything so far.
And now he has Selhurst on their feet because Crystal Palace have taken the lead.
It goes from bad to worse for ten man Milwaukee.
Crystal Palace 1-0.
The Eagles in complete control.
Short corner routine.
Ezek, back to Will Hughes.
And it all went wrong at the back for Jaffa Tanganga.
Gaye.
Looking for Munoz.
Got it back across the face of goal.
And Ketya on the turn.
Big appeals for a penalty, but Munoz has stabbed it home.
The flag is up for offside.
And now the video assistant referee has an awful lot to look at.
The Palace players were across straight away to Michael Oliver.
I think they think this has come off a defender last.
Was it knocked into the path of Munoz by a Millwall player?
If so, this will stand.
The goal is given.
Palace double their advantage.
And Daniel Munoz scores another crucial goal at the Holmesdale.
Aziz manages to squeeze past Richards and across the face of goal.
And it's loose for Harding,
who tucks it away.
And Millwall have a goal back.
The first goal Palace have conceded in the FA Cup this season.
And Wes Harding arriving at the far post.
Has given the visitors down to 10 men a foothold in this game.
Millwall switches the play.
Mitchell.
Now Harding.
Stuck in.
And Coburn was inches away from turning it home.
But Turner collects.
Harding's ball in.
Look at the movement from Coburn.
Would have been onside.
Couldn't connect.
Palace's slender lead.
Aziz's ball in.
Towards Richards.
And nodded goalwards.
And in!
And Eddie Nketiah has his second goal in as many games.
And may well have just sealed Crystal Palace's place in the FA Cup quarterfinals.
Selhurst breathes a sigh of relief.
The goal of a season number nine.
Eddie Nketiah is finding his form at just the right time.
He scored in the League Cup.
He scored in the Premier League.
And now he can add the FA Cup to his tally.
A fantastic header.
Picked out the bottom corner.
And Munoz has won it back.
And now Nketiah tried to feed Iberiazet.
And Lerma!
How close was that?
He's only scored one Crystal Palace goal and it was an absolute scorcher.
From that kind of area against Chelsea, at that end, he'd lined it up.
And what a ball that is to pick out Nketiah.
And Eddie Nketiah!
And struck goalwards!
What a moment that could have been for the main essay.
Nketiah had support in the form of Ben Chilwell.
He was giving everything to get up on that left-hand side.
Instead, Nketiah brimming with confidence, decided he had to take it on alone.
And looking for Chilwell.
Fabulous ball to Chilwell's delivery.
Franca with a flying volley.
A really difficult chance.
He did well just to make contact.
It's a really nice move from Crystal Palace.
Franca flew in.
Both he and Essay were waiting.
And a sensational finish to find the bottom corner.
Crystal Palace are in the FA Cup quarterfinals.
The Eagles and Oliver Glasner are one step away from a trip to Wembley.
And Palace have beaten their rivals once again.
