The match began with Palace showing promise, as Jean-Philippe Mateta created an early scoring opportunity with a shot that forced a save from Bernd Leno.

However, it was Eddie Nketiah who scored the first goal, capitalizing on a pass from Adam Wharton to strike the ball into the goal from the edge of the area.

Fulham responded with a strike from Emile Smith-Rowe, but Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson made a crucial save to deny the goal.

Before halftime, Harry Wilson scored for Fulham with a shot from outside the foot, assisted by Raul Jimenez, which found the far corner of the net.

The second half started with high intensity, with both teams creating scoring chances.

Fulham's Kenny Tete had a shot from the left foot that went over the bar, while Mateta had a left-footed shot that sailed wide of the post.
