In the FA WSL encounter between Crystal Palace LFC and West Ham United, West Ham delivered a dominating performance, winning 7-1. Statistically, the match underscores West Ham's clinical attack, with all of their seven goals distributed almost evenly across both halves, reflecting their relentless pressure throughout and composure in finishing. Crystal Palace, while managing to score once, struggled defensively against the well-coordinated attacking plays of West Ham, which capitalized on minimal opportunities, evidenced by scoring from six shots on target.

The decisive factor was West Ham's superior conversion rate and efficiency in the final third, a stark contrast to Crystal Palace's inefficacy in creating truly threatening chances despite securing six corner kicks. The absence of any corner kicks for West Ham underlines their direct approach and ability to break down Crystal Palace's defense without necessitating set-piece opportunities. West Ham's 3 offside decisions, compared to Crystal Palace’s 2, further illustrate their aggressive forward play, pushing defensive lines to the limit.

Defensive lapses and poor teamwork from Crystal Palace were significant contributing factors, noticeable in their frequent fouls leading to yellow cards, which disrupted any defensive stability they tried to build. Although there was aggression from both sides, evidenced by three yellow cards in total, West Ham maintained better discipline despite receiving two, ensuring their key players remained on the pitch to keep momentum. Substitution choices did little to alter Crystal Palace's fate as the tactical imbalance and inefficiency in key transitions were evident throughout the match.
