5 Full Time: Plymouth played bad upfront not even making a shot all game. Palace dominated the midfield and a Tom Soares corner in the 54th minute was a good one and Idrizaj put it home to score Palace's and the games only goal. Scimeca was awarded man of the match.

7 Match Review: Well Plymouth are lucky they only lost by one goal. They were dreadful in most aspects of their game. The only good part of their game was their goalkeeping which was amazing and only let Palace get one goal. Scimeca was awarded man of the match for a wonderful performance completing 39/43 passes, 2/2 tackles, 19/28 headers, 1 key header and 16 intercepts. Idrizaj also played another great game completing 50 passes, winning 14 headers and 5 tackles as well as the winning goal and 12 intercepts. It is 2 goals in two games for the attacking midfielder now. Soares also performed very well completing 8/13 headers, 9 intercepts and set up Idrizaj's goal.
