Season 76 - Are you ready?

Day 3 - Palace teams report (1/2).

Palace Terriers introduced their new goalkeeper in their first League match of the season, at home. It took a while to break down a stubborn defence, and the home side eventually ran out 4-0 winners. Aurelian M'Futi pulled off a couple of smart saves in the latter part of the first half to keep Terriers ahead after central midfielder Christophe Ouahbi had headed them into the lead from an Andre Forsmark corner. After the break, Forsmark celebrated his 100th appearance for the Terriers with a goal direct from a free-kick before the forward line got into the act, but not until Terriers had suffered their first injury of the season, right-winger Declan McGranaghan having to retire hurt with a thigh strain. Left-winger Nikolay Radev netted an good individual goal before the reshuffle resulting from McGranaghan's injury, Radev moving to right-wing, striker Samir Gross moving to left-wing, and new striker Brian Horne getting his first action as lone striker, replacing Gross. Two minutes from time, Radev burst down the wing and crossed for Horne to open his account and complete the scoring on a 4-0 win.





Palace Casuals were at home in their first Champions League Group match and sported a 2.8Q advantage over their opponents, but were frustrated by a defensive display, struggling to a 2-2 draw. Right-winger Andy Bayunu picked up a brace, scoring either side of the visitors' two goals in the second half.
