IT WAS DAICHI KAMADA WHO GOT THE LOW, SLOW BALL ROLLING, FROM A FREE KICK, TOWARDS JEAN-PHILIPPE MATETA LAST NIGHT, WHICH HE HIT WITH APLOMB, REBOUNDING OFF THE POST AND STRAIGHT INTO THE PATH OF DANIEL MUNOZ, WHO TAPPED IT HOME IN THE 31ST MINUTE OF THE MATCH BETWEEN DONCASTER VS CRYSTAL PALACE! CRYSTAL PALACE HAD 11 SHOTS, WITH 5 ON TARGET, INCLUDING ANOTHER CRACKER FROM JUSTIN DEVENNEY AT 51 MINS., PLUS 540 PASSES, WITH AN 80% PASS ACCURACY, (AND 61% POSSESSION). DONCASTER MADE 343 PASSES, WITH A 69% PASS ACCURACY, WITH 15 SHOTS AND 4 ON TARGET, INCLUDING SOME BRILLIANT COMBINED CREATIVITY FROM JAMES MAXWELL, LUKE MOLYNEUX, BILLY SHARP AND OWEN BAILEY BUT NOTHING WAS GETTING PAST PALACE’S GOALY MATT TURNER, SO THIS EXCITING MATCH CULMINATED IN A 2 – 0 WIN TO CRYSTAL PALACE, MEANING THAT THEY WILL NOW SAIL INTO THE 5TH ROUND OF THE FA CUP, PLAYING MILLWALL NEXT. AFTER THE MATCH, PALACE’S MANAGER OLIVER GLASNER SAID “WE ARE IN IT TO WIN IT AND WE ARE GOING TO GO FOR IT!” EXCITING TIMES!
