Report Point apiece as Palace draw PL International Cup opener v
Crystal Palace Under-21s began their defence of the Premier League International Cup with a draw against Real Sociedad.

The visitors started the second-half brightly, enjoying more of the ball and creating a number of chances, but Moulden and the Palace defence dealt with their early pressure.

The Eagles were in search of a go-ahead goal and duly found it on the hour-mark. Excellent work down the right hand side from Caleb Kporha saw him find a cross into an unmarked Umolu inside the box, who finished at the first time of asking.

Palace’s lead lasted less than 10 minutes, as the Spanish side drew level with 20 minutes to play. Unax Agote found himself on the scoresheet, finishing after the ball wasn’t properly cleared away from a Sociedad attack.

Chances came and went for both sides as the game went on, with captain Justin Devenny seeing an effort on the edge of the box saved and Moulden standing tall to deny a late Sociedad flurry.

The result means that Palace begin their defence of their trophy with a point. They sit in second place of Group D - two points behind RB Leipzig.
