Aldershot Town vs. Stockport

Aiming to embrace the underdog role once more in this competition, National League side Aldershot Town is set to host League Two leaders Stockport County in the second round of the FA Cup.

Aldershot Town secured their spot in round two by convincingly defeating an out-of-sorts Swindon Town, while Stockport County navigated past non-league outfit Worksop with ease in their FA Cup journey.

Aldershot advances to the FA Cup second round after a historic triumph against Swindon in the previous round. In the 11-goal thriller at the County Ground, the Shots secured a record-breaking victory, becoming the first non-league side to score seven goals against Football League opposition in an FA Cup game.

Following their noteworthy first-round performance, Aldershot has refocused on National League affairs, maintaining their playoff ambitions with three wins in their last four matches. Late goals from Coby Rowe and Lorent Tolaj secured last-minute victories against Bromley and Halifax Town, respectively, in their recent league outings.

What to remember – Aldershot Town vs. Stockport
