Palace went in at half-time leading 1-0 thanks to an inch-perfect header from Maxence Lacroix, which left Senne Lammens rooted to put the visitors in front mere minutes into the match. United improved after their slow start, though, and were handed a gilt-edge chance to draw level when Lacroix turned from hero to villain, pulling Matheus Cunha down in the box, earning a red card and a penalty for his actions.
