Brentford took a 1-0 lead against Crystal Palace after a disallowed free-kick goal by Eze. Brentford dominated the first half after the disallowing of Eze’s goal and scored through Mbuemo to take the lead. The disallowed goal seemed to knock Palace, who were unable to get Eze on the ball as much as before. Brentford had their chances to score more goals before half-time, but Palace improved towards the end of the half. The second half promised to be an exciting contest, with Brentford looking to capitalize on their first-half performance, while Palace aimed to bounce back and equalize. The referee’s decision to disallow Eze’s goal may have been fair due to a foul by Hughes on Collins in the box, but it was a shame as the goal was a brilliant effort. Overall, both teams had periods of dominance in the first half, setting up an intriguing second half of the match.
