- Palace’s Adam Wharton was a standout performer, but the team struggled with finishing and defensive coordination, with some lucky escapes such as a handball clearance by Strand Larsen.
- Off the pitch, Palace ultras group Holmesdale Fanatics announced they are ceasing all organized activity due to rising ticket prices, restrictions, and lack of younger fan engagement, marking the end of a 20-year influential supporter culture.
