Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Crystal Palace U21 edged Paris Saint-Germain U21 2-1 in the U21 Premier League International Cup, with Sebastian Williams netting the winner and earning the standout rating of 8.76, though no next fixture is set. The hosts struck early through Adler Nascimento inside six minutes, but PSG dominated the ball throughout, only for Williams to double the lead on 62 minutes before Noa Bezeme pulled one back for the visitors on 75.

Palace’s early yellow card for the visitors set a scrappy tone, yet the decisive moment came when Williams converted just past the hour to restore control after PSG had pressed for an equaliser. The French side pushed hard late on, with two further bookings in the closing stages, but Palace held firm despite their numerical caution.

On the numbers, PSG were emphatically the better side with 66% possession and five corners to Palace’s two, yet they lost on efficiency, outplayed but undone by a sharper finish. Williams, a midfielder, earned his 8.76 rating as the game’s top performer, his goal proving the difference in a contest his side controlled in patches but rarely on the ball.
