In a Wembley who was waiting for another Liverpool party, Crystal Palace wrote a historic page. With just two million euros invested in signings compared to the 300 million of the 'Reds', the Oliver Glasner team lifted the first Shield Community in its history, beating 3-2 in the penalties after a 2-2 draw in the regulation time. A deed in which Colombians Daniel Muñoz and Jefferson Lerma also left their mark.
Liverpool, now under the direction of Arne Slot, seemed aimed at a triumphal debut with his four new reinforcements. Hugo Ekitiké opened the scoring with a precise shot after passing from Florian Wirtz, and later Jeremie Frimpong surprised with an poisoned center that ended inside. Between those two goals, Jean-Philippe Mateta had tied for the palace from the penalty spot, after a lack of virgil van dijk about Ismaïla Sarr.
The second half brought the reaction of the London team. Muñoz was protagonist with his right projections, keeping the palace in offensive zone. Thirteen minutes from the end, Adam Wharton leaked a perfect pass for Sar, which did not forgive with a cross shot that matched the accounts. Lerma entered shortly after to contribute balance in the midfield, while the tension grew to the penalties.
In the batch, Liverpool collapsed: Salah, Mac Allister and Elliott failed their charges. Henderson, hero of the last FA Cup, responded again by stopping two releases. Mateta, Sarr and Justin Accrveny hit the Palace, sealing a title that, although many consider of less rank, for the club in southern London and their fans knows Glory.
For Muñoz and Lerma, it is a new trophy in England and a mood before the premiere debut on August 17 against Chelsea. For the Palace, it is the confirmation that in football does not always win the one that spends the most.
