League Two Exeter City produced an FA Cup first-round upset by winning 2-1 away at Huddersfield Town, the current leaders of League One, to book a place in the second round.

The result marks a notable cup scalp for the lower-division visitors, who eliminated a side sitting top of the division above them. The match was the headline fixture covered by the FA Cup first-round highlights package.

The tie was played as part of the opening round of this season's competition, with progression to the second round the prize for the winner.

The BBC's highlights coverage of the game was restricted to viewers in the UK, with the content not available to audiences elsewhere.
