Bromley 3:0 Crystal Palace — Match Report

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Shamal George was the unlikely standout as Bromley stunned Crystal Palace 3-0 in a Club Friendly, a result that sets up their next pre-season test against Millwall on July 28th. The League Two side capitalised on their chances ruthlessly while their Premier League opponents dominated possession without reward.

The match turned decisively in the 62nd minute when goalkeeper George launched a long ball that Victor Adeboyejo chased down and converted for the opener. Adeboyejo doubled the lead on 75 minutes with an unassisted strike, before Nicke Kabamba added a third in the 86th minute from Nathan Paul-Lavaly's assist, leaving Crystal Palace shell-shocked after controlling large spells.

Crystal Palace held 70% possession and fired 23 shots to Bromley's eight, with six corners to one, yet found no way past a resolute defence—the second half saw their control tighten to 76% possession but still no breakthrough. Shamal George earned a 9.5 rating as goalkeeper, his pinpoint assist sparking the upset despite facing relentless pressure. Bromley now prepare for their next friendly against Millwall.
