In a game where he was not the favorite, not even a shadow of it, there was good news and bad news for Colombia and immense happiness in the home of the winner.
Crystal Palace secured their first win of the current season in the Premier League with a 1-0 against an unknown Tottenham team that made a mistake and made everything easier for the local team, which featured Colombians Jefferson Lerma and Daniel Muñoz as starters.
After 20 minutes the first concern came: Lerma lasted only 20 minutes on the court, little is known about his problem because the live cameras did not even see him.
A serious mistake would occur at the start of Tottenham at 31, which the home owner took advantage of: five passes in a row between the centre-backs and the goalkeeper, the unlucky left the ball to Eze and from there would come the pass to Mateta to open the account and keep it up until the end.
The home team saved twice, first in the replay series in the area that did not cross the line and then with van de Ven and an attempt to sweep the crossbar and it did not go in.
Muñoz fought on his side against a rival full of alternatives and even earned a yellow card, but he was always cautious, always strong in anticipation in the first phase.
The completion started and it looked like there would be a reaction from the visitors but it wasn’t to be, and instead Eze was denied the goal he should have made as a great figure when he was caught offside. Celebration in vain.
Richarlison arrived but there was no big change in an unknown Tottenham side who deserved to lose. Now Crystal Palace has 6 points and escapes the relegation zone just in 17th place.
