Palace struggled throughout the match, failing to create clear scoring opportunities. However, they equalized four minutes before halftime when Daichi Kamada capitalized on a team move to finish off a sequence and net his first Premier League goal. Jefferson Lerma sealed the win with a header in the dying moments of the first half.
In the second half, Yeremy Pino added a third goal for Palace, delighting Eagles fans who chanted their former manager's name as a taunt. Benitez made a crucial save to thwart Jefferson Lerma's late consolation goal, preventing Forest from claiming even a point and pushing them up to 14th in the league. Palace's win moves them up to 12th in the Premier League standings.
