Match Info

Brentford advanced in the FA Cup with a professional 0-1 away victory over Macclesfield Town on February 17, 2026. The Premier League side avoided a potential upset by grinding out a win against their lower-league opponents in a classic cup tie. The match process was defined by Brentford's control of possession and Macclesfield's resilient defending.

Macclesfield Town fought bravely and had a chance to equalize late on, but Brentford's defense held firm to see the game out. The key incident was a potential penalty shout for the home side that was waved away, adding to the cup drama. This result sent Brentford into the next round of the FA Cup, while Macclesfield's memorable cup run came to an end with pride intact. The Macclesfield manager praised his players' effort, while Brentford's coach was just happy to progress. Brentford fielded a strong lineup to ensure safe passage.
