Super win for Eagles

July 24 2015

Fraizer Campbell found the net against SuperSport Utd

Crystal Palace ran out comfortable 4-0 winners against SuperSport United in Cape Town.

The Eagles made light work of their South African counterparts in the pre-season mini tournament at the Cape Town Stadium.

Skipper Mile Jedinak got the scoring under way after just three minutes by turning home Scott Dann's flick-on from close range.

Palace stretched their lead in the 16th minute through Lee Chung-yong who collected a poor clearance from SuperSport keeper Ronwen Williams and slotted into the far corner.

Midfielder Jordon Mutch made it 3-0 on 28 minutes with a brilliant run beyond two defenders and scoring with an audacious lob over Williams.

Then two minutes later, Frazier Campbell converted Jason Puncheon's deflected effort for the fourth goal.

New signing Patrick Bamford came on with Yohan Cabaye on the hour mark and they combined with the former denied in a one-on-one with Williams.

Palace pressed for further goals, with Cabaye looking particularly impressive, but failed to add any more in the second half.

SuperSport should have grabbed a consolation in the 88th minute but Thuso Phala somehow missed when it was easier to score.

Palace: Hennessey, Kelly, Dann (Delaney 49), Hangeland, Souare (Scales 60), Jedinak, Ledley, Puncheon (Kaikai 46), Mutch (Cabaye 60), Lee, Campbell (Bamford 46).

Not used: Speroni, McArthur, Murray, Gayle.
