U23s Report: Crystal Palace 1-1 Cardiff City

Crystal Palace Under-23s ground-out a tight point from Cardiff City today in an evenly fought, if scrappy, match at a chilled Beckenham training ground.

The game's opening exchanges saw a tight and closely-fought affair enacted, with neither team creating any chances to seriously threaten the other.

The first opportunity to break the deadlock fell to the visitors when Dion Henry was forced to race from his box to deny Mark Harris a shooting chance with a strong, well-timed challenge.

The Eagles were able to respond, however, and weren't to be put on the back foot when TQ Addy found himself with space on the right edge of the box, only to strike the ball inches over the bar from 10 yards.
