Crystal Palace started the match better and in the 13th minute organized a wonderful attack through the center, and the visitors were unable to stop Michael Ollis, who demonstrated great dribbling and took a huge space with his feet, then shot into the far corner and left no chance for Onana to react – 1:0 for Crystal Palace.
In the 23rd minute, the hosts had another chance to sign off, with Olis again in the spotlight as he was awarded the penalty spot, but his shot was not well aimed and went straight into the hands of the Manchester United keeper.
Just four minutes later, the ball was crossed into the Crystal Palace penalty area and Hoylund rose high to slot the ball into the net, only to have it disallowed for a foul on the home keeper, who was knocked into the air.
In the 28th minute, Michael Ollis again demonstrated his great dribbling in the penalty area and tried to go around Onana, but the Manchester United keeper was quick enough to deal with the situation.
In the 40th minute, Diego Dalot was lost in the middle of the pitch and Chris Richards played a quick pass to Mateta, who beat Jonny Evans with ease and finally fired a left-footed bomb into the near corner, parrying Onana to double the score – 2 :0 for Crystal Palace.
In the 53rd minute, Christian Eriksen crossed from a free-kick and Casemiro headed the ball in at the left-hand post, but it found its way back to him and he was able to finish with an added-on. However, the goal was disallowed due to an ambush by the Brazilian.
Shortly after, Tyreek Mitchell received a handy ball from Eze in the box and attempted a shot into the near corner, but Onana was alert and parried, firing for a corner. After the ensuing corner, the ball was cleared, and on the edge of the penalty area it was controlled by Will Hughes, who did not hesitate to shoot, but the Manchester United keeper saved again.
In the 58th minute, the ball was crossed again and Joakim Andersen failed to make an optimal shot, but there was Tyreek Mitchell, who jumped out to intercept the ball with his left foot and left Onana no chance to react – 3:0 for Crystal Palace .
Five minutes later, Casemiro won enough space in the box to head home a corner, but his header into the top right corner was denied by the keeper’s superb dive.
In the 66th minute, Michael Ollis elegantly controlled a good pass from Munoz and looked up to fire a real bomb unsaved under the crossbar with a shot from the edge of the penalty area – 4-0 to Crystal Palace.
In the second minute of added time, Crystal Palace could have scored a fifth goal when substitute Edwards had space and shot with his right foot, but the ball deflected off the side post.
