Battling It Out - Kezman vs. Melchiot at Stamford Bridge - Birmingham City vs. Chelsea FA Cup Fourth Round (30-01-2005) by Mike Egerton
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This iconic photograph captures the intensity and passion of the FA Cup Fourth Round match between Birmingham City and Chelsea, which took place on January 30,2005, at Stamford Bridge. The image features two prominent figures locked in a fierce battle, with Birmingham City's Mario Melchiot and Chelsea's Mateja Kezman going head-to-head in the heat of the moment. Melchiot, a versatile defender known for his tenacity and determination, is seen here making a last-ditch tackle on Kezman, the Chelsea striker who was in fine form during the 2004-05 season. Kezman, with his powerful build and quick reflexes, had already scored 12 goals for the Blues in all competitions at that point, making him a formidable opponent for any defense. The FA Cup Fourth Round is renowned for its upsets and surprises, and this match was no exception. Birmingham City, then a Championship side, held their own against the Premier League giants, with Melchiot's defensive prowess playing a crucial role in keeping Chelsea at bay. The game ended in a goalless draw, with the replay taking place at St Andrew's, where Birmingham City pulled off a shock 3-2 victory to progress to the next round. This photograph by Mike Egerton encapsulates the spirit of competition and the unpredictability of football, with two players giving their all in the pursuit of victory. It is a testament to the passion and commitment of the players, as well as the excitement and drama of the FA Cup.
