  "account": "West Ham secured their maiden away victory of the Women's Super League season with a commanding win over Crystal Palace, thanks to a first-half goal from Kelly Gago. The English defender netted with the sole shot on target during a lackluster first half, despite West Ham dominating play after the break. The home team, Crystal Palace, only managed a single shot on target and were largely content to sit back and defend for large portions of the match. The Eagles' closest chance came in the dying moments of the game when Shannon O'Brien's cross was lofted over the bar by Palace's captain. West Ham's second triumph of the season propelled them to ninth place in the standings, while Crystal Palace fell to tenth. An error by Palace skipper Aimee Everett set up the opening goal when Oona Siren delivered a low cross for Gago to capitalize on. Palace narrowly missed out on an equalizer just before halftime, with Bethany England striking the post after Fuka Tsunoda's cross. In the second half, the Hammers increased their attacking pressure, with Everett coming to the rescue once again by clearing Leila Wandeler's effort off the line. Crystal Palace's defensive lapse in the final minutes proved costly as West Ham held firm in their goal.",
