i mean maldon & tiptree were putting up a good fight but port vale's squad just took it to them! their bench players are so talented and it paid off in the end. i'm loving the fact that port vale is finally getting some decent media attention, they've been struggling for years but now this cup run might be their chance to shine 
! 5-1 is insane, I mean who wouldn't want to see a non-league team take down a Premier League side? 
Their bench came up huge in the end, it was like they were waiting for their chance to shine 
. Still, gotta feel bad for Maldon & Tiptree, they got absolutely mugged out there 
. I'm loving this FA Cup run, bring on the next match!
I mean, Port Vale totally deserved that win after going down 5-1 at some point! 
. But seriously, they really need to step up their game if they wanna make it past the next round. The pressure is definitely on now 
.
. But yeah, the other team did come back and it was so close 
. Do you think Maldon & Tiptree are gonna be okay? They got destroyed lol 
️ also gotta say, 8 minutes of non-stop scoring is just insane! what's goin on with these teams? are they gonna be top contenders for the fa cup or just another one-off fluke? 
Port Vale's squad is literally made of glass lol 5-1 is massive but like how did they not get destroyed before this goal fest? 
I love how their bench stepped up to seal the deal in the end. It's clear they've got some serious talent brewing 
They'll definitely be causing a stir in the higher echelons of the tournament! 
I'm just glad they won, not because of the scoreline, but because they showed everyone that they're capable of more than we thought.
they're prob gonna get slaughtered by a bigger team tho, idk how much more of this drama u can handle 
. Meanwhile, Port Vale just kept trucking, racking up those five goals like it was nothing 
. The squad's depth is seriously impressive, and it'll be interesting to see how they handle the bigger stage ahead 
. Still can't believe Maldon & Tiptree pulled one back, though - that would've been a major upset if they'd held on 
. All in all, Port Vale's got some serious momentum going into the second round 
where were the stats? did port vale really dominate possession like it says here?
