- Adaramola, Street and Phillips combine on the counter, but it's scrambled away.
- FT: Palace 1-1 Leeds
Following the pyrotechnic show that greeted the players’ arrival onto the field, the first-half was less of spectacle and was more characterised by the ferocious nature of the challenges – with several names from either side ending up in the referee’s book.
The closest either side came to scoring was Patrick Bamford’s snapshot from the edge of the area, taking a slight nick before flying narrowly past the post.
After the break the game sprang into life, however, and Palace found themselves behind in controversial circumstances. Joel Ward came across to clear a nothing ball into the area, but the referees instantly pointed to the spot.
The Palace players were incandescent, and pointed repeatedly to the big screen replays of the incident. The referee was unmoved, and Rodrigo stepped up to send Guaita the wrong way from 12-yards.
But the Eagles had always looked dangerous on the break, and it was through a rapid counter attack that they hit back. Jordan Ayew found space behind the Leeds defence and raced forwards, displaying real pace to leave Kristienssen in his wake.
Galloping alongside him was Jean-Philippe Mateta, who had the easy task of slotting into an empty net.
Both sides had chances to find a second, with Malcolm Ebiowei once again impressing going forwards, and Joe Gelhardt forcing Guaita into a smart save.
But it was Palace who should have won it – first through Mitchell who nodded down into the ground from six-yards-out at the far post and then Killian Phillips on another lightening quick counter attack.
In the end it was all square, but a positive end to a huge pre-season tour nonetheless.
Palace: Guaita (GK), Clyne, Andersen, Ward, Mitchell, Milivojevic, Rak-Sakyi, Ozoh (Ebiowei, 65), Edouard (Phillips¸80), Mateta (Street, 84), Ayew (Adaramola, 84).
Subs: Matthews, Rodney, Quick, O’Brien, Siddik, M. Boateng, Raymond, Banks, Akinwale, Ola-Adebomi.

A positive draw for Palace and that’s it from down under.
We’ll leave you with words from the boss…
14:00
David Ozoh spoke to Palace TV after the game - having started in Australia at just 17-years-old.
“It’s a dream come true,” he told Palace TV after the game. “I think I did alright – the gaffer said I did well so I’m pleased with my performance.
“It’s good having the physical ability – thanks to my Dad! It’s a great thing to have, and obviously to be technical as well.
“It’s just been great. Playing in front of 60,000 or 70,000 fans, it’s just about being brave and improving.”
After a first pre-season tour with the first-team, Ozoh hopes he can take new experiences into his development as a player.
“It’s been a great experience,” he said. “I never thought I would ever go to Singapore and Australia in my life, so I'm just happy I've done it.
“We all came and showed everyone that we have the ability to compete in the first-team squad. Now it’s up to the gaffer.
“I’ve taken a lot from [the first-team players] – it’s about bringing that back and playing.”

A positive showing to mark the final fixture of Tour 2022.
Chance!
90+2 mins
The youngsters almost win it!
Street, Adaramola and Phillips combine to carve through the Leeds defence, but in the end the final ball is agonisingly short it's forced behind for a corner.
Is there one final chance to win it...?
Chance!
89 mins
Was that the moment to win it?
The chance is created by Ebiowei who jinks left and right to find the angle for the cross, and delivers a good one towards the far post.
The man on the spot is Tyrick Mitchell, who heads down into the ground and over the crossbar.
We'll have three added minutes.
87 mins
Adaramola is on at left-wing for the final five minutes, meaning that Palace front three are two 18-year-olds and 20-year-old.
Substitution
84 mins
Another two changes for Palace, and more valuable minutes for Academy youngsters.
On: Rob Street and Tayo Adarmamola.
Off: Jordan Ayew and Jean-Philippe Mateta.

Not far away from a second for Leeds. It's Gelhardt cutting in on his left, and unleashing a dipping drive that Guaita has to push behind.
The corner comes to nothing.
Substitution

Off comes Odsonne Edouard, and Killian Phillips replaces him.
76 mins
Stop it, Tyrick - all the defenders are at it.
Mitchell flicks backwards over the head of the approaching attacker and moves away.

Joachim Andersen, that is lovely.
The Dane goes all 'Franz Beckenbauer', sliding in to hook the ball away before producing a Cruyff turn to move away from his marker, winning a free-kick in the process.
Moments later, Edouard creates space at the edge of the box but shoots into a crowd of bodies when Malcolm Ebiowei was unmarked.
70 mins
Palace have the momentum after that goal, and Ebiowei looks a real threat.
GOAL!!!!
GOAL! Palace 1-1 Leeds (Mateta)
67 mins
Palace are level!

At just the right time, he square to Mateta, who is left with the simple task of rolling home.
66 mins
Rak-Sakyi is dispossessed and looks for the free-kick, but to no avail. Leeds break forwards and Guaita is spotted off his line, but the 'keeper palms away the attempt at the lob.
Substitution

Penalty!
53 mins
Leeds have a spot-kick, and boy is this controversial.
Joel Ward is adjudged to have pushed Summerville, but the Palace players are up in arms - they point to the big screen replays which show very little contact ocurred.
The referee is unmoved by the replays or the boos from the crowd - and Ward and Milivojevic are shown yellow cards.
50 mins
Chance for Palace, and it's all of Edouard's making.
The Frenchman shows strength and guile to dance down the wing, shrugging off the challenges of the defenders. He tries in vain to pick out Ayew, but Mateta rescues the loose ball and lays off for Rak-Sakyi; the shot is blocked away.
Ozoh impressing
How good has this guy been?
48 mins
Jes Rak-Sakyi is drifting wide and getting into dangerous positions behind the Leeds line. He races forwards again but the defender gets back.

Half-time
45+2 mins

Just 45 minutes remaining in Palace’s pre-season tour – can they leave Australia on a high?
45 mins
Chance for Leeds and potentially the closest they have come to an opener.
Patrick Bamford finds space in the middle and unleashes an effort from just oustide the area, but it flies narrowly wide - via a deflection.
Guaita gets a good hand on the subsequent corner to punch clear.
42 mins
Now a chance for Leeds - and they've won two corners in quick succession.
Both are cleared.

The referee might want reminding that this is a pre-season game.
Third booking in the opening half-an-hour and it's a contentious one, as Andersen makes up for a heavy touch with what he believes to be a well timed tackle - but the whistle goes.
29 mins
Palace are seeing more of the ball now, and Joachim Andersen is beginning to stroke it around the back with confidence. Leeds look the more dangerous on the counter.
Booking

8 mins
Neither side commanding on the ball so far, but Palace look good on the break.
The ball is worked to Jordan Ayew out wide, who clips a delivery towards the far post. Odsonne Edouard is waiting and tries an acrobatic bicycle kick, but can't make proper contact.
5 mins
First chance of the game for Leeds, as Palace play themselves into a bit of bother at the back.
Leeds work it to Patrick Bamford who rolls the ball narrowly wide, but the flag was up.

Patrick Vieira has faced Leeds United plenty of times as both a player and a manager, but he made clear before the game that this could be a transformed team under new management.
“[It] will be a different Leeds,” he said at his press conference. “The manager arrived at the end of the season so to put his philosophy and ideas in place [so quickly], that will be really difficult.
“I know Jesse [Marsch] quite well from our time in the US. I know this will be a team that will work hard and play on the front foot.
“I think they will have a different season from last year.”

Patrick Vieira spoke ahead of today’s clash at his pre-match press conference yesterday, where he explained that the new experiences provided by touring Singapore and Australia will allow him to build on the strong foundations already set at the club.
“Coming here was something that we wanted to do as a football club,” he said at his pre-match press conference. “We wanted as well to give these kinds of experiences to our players.
“Some of our young players have never been outside of London or England, so to travel and to play those kinds of games against those kinds of teams is of value for our football club.
“The tour has been good so far. When you play [Manchester] United and Liverpool in front of 80,000 and you look at the intensity of the game, those two games so far have helped us grow as a team.
“Obviously we are in a better place now physically, and a better place tactically. Those games allowed us to adjust and to see where we are as a team.”
