In the Premier League competition on the 14th of April 2024, at 13:00 EEST, Crystal Palace delivered a tightly won match against home team Liverpool concluding with 1-0.

In a surprising turn during the first half at 00:13:18, Crystal Palace scored the only goal of the match. This early goal proved pivotal and set the tone of the match in the away team’s favor.

Despite a large number of corner kicks, Liverpool was unable to convert any of them into a goal. They recorded 11 corner kicks compared with Crystal Palace's 1 corner kick, indicating Liverpool controlled the ball and posed constant threats. This suggests Crystal Palace relied heavily on their defense.

However, statistic data reveals Liverpool made two offside mistakes, slightly tipping the balance towards Crystal Palace. The away team, on the other hand, saw five offside, reflecting a more aggressive attacking strategy, which, however, often led to infractions.

Looking at the foul count, both teams showed aggressive gameplay. Liverpool committed 10 fouls, while Crystal Palace committed 9 fouls. Each team also received a yellow card in the second half, at 01:10:39 the home team, and at 01:36:48 the away team. This reinforces a physical, densely-contested match and evenly balanced disciplinary action from the referee.

Despite the high number of corner kicks Liverpool obtained, they failed to transform them into scoring opportunities, which had a significant impact on the outcome. The away team’s strategy was to capitalize on fewer opportunities but with high efficiency, as evidenced by their single goal scored early in the first half.

In conclusion, the most defining factor in this game was Crystal Palace’s early goal and robust defensive display. With more clinical finishing and defensive discipline, Liverpool might have turned the tide as they dominated in terms of corner kicks obtained. It seems Liverpool failed to break Crystal Palace’s robust backline, leading to their downfall in this match.
