Fulham 0-1 Crystal Palace Match Report

Eddie Nketiah’s first-half goal sent Crystal Palace through to the Carabao Cup fifth round at Fulham’s expense, with the visitors winning 1-0 in Round 4.

Nketiah struck in the 37th minute, finishing right-footed from close range after a cross from Óscar Mingueza. Fulham had earlier been shown a yellow card when Sander Berge was booked for a foul on 19 minutes.

Fulham dominated possession at 74 per cent and had 14 shots to Palace’s four, but they could not find a way past the Palace defence, which recorded 45 clearances. Palace goalkeeper made four saves, while Fulham’s big chances came and went without conversion.

Palace managed the closing stages with substitutions, including Deni Kamada and Yaser Pino on 77 minutes, and saw out four minutes of added time. Jefferson Lerma and Evann Guessand were both booked for fouls.

The result means Palace progress to the next round, while Fulham exit the competition despite their control of the ball and a strong passing accuracy of 90.9 per cent.
