Cardiff City v Crystal Palace: Premier League – Live! | Soccer

61 min: Wan-Bissaka crosses deeply from the right. Zaha made a mistake at the back post, but Peltier made a mistake and could not help but shoot. Eventually, the ball creaks up to Etheridge. Cardiff is constantly on the brink of conceding the third goal that would surely condemn them.

60 min: Cardiff makes his second change of match, his first choice. Zohore enters for Ward.

59 min: A long ball in the middle. Kelly plays and almost lets Ward in, but manages to bring the ball back to Guaita.

57 min: Palace repels Cardiff. Ayew pulls from a tight angle on the right. Zaha dribbles on the left. Townsend takes a 20-meter search. Nothing happens completely, but Cardiff looks extremely vulnerable every time the palace attacks them.

55 min: Space for Mendez-Laing on the right. He made a glorious pbad from Ward to Ward, then sent a long cross to Murphy at the far post. The ball falls perfectly, but Murphy catches the ball by shooting it six meters to the left. What a cross and what a chance to bring Cardiff back in this game.

53 min: After their fast start to the second half, the Cardiff pulse slowed down somewhat. Their fans do their best to put them into action with challenge songs.

51 min: The Palace district moves quickly to the left. He shoots a low ball in the center of Batshuayi, who hits the bar for the first time from the edge of the box. This game is now very vague, with Cardiff forced to cram it. This is not going to finish 1-2, is not it?

49 min: Cardiff came out for that second half on the front foot. They are touching most of the bullets lost right now. And they win a free kick on the center line. Bennett throws it into the palace box. Ward picks him up, pivots and, to the right of the d, hits a rising shot. It's big and wide, but it brings the crowd.

47 min: Murphy has treated one, painful or not, and he needs a little treatment. He is back soon though.

We go there, then. Cardiff's membership in the Premier League hangs on a thread. They have 45 minutes to find the only objective that will keep them mathematically with a cry of survival and both that would give them a realistic chance. Palace revives the ball, and Murphy soon pursues him to the left of Cardiff. Wan-Bissaka comes sliding. He recovers the balloon and attaches it. Murphy breaks down, trapped, but there is nothing wrong with the challenge. This does not mean that you will get an agreement with Cardiff fans.

Half-time reading. Remember that this is the final of the FA Cup Feminine today. Manchester City faces West Ham United, and Alex Hess has the latest news.

Palace do a great favor to their historic rivals Brighton and Hove Albion. Unless Cardiff finds a goal in the second half, they will play championship football next season.

45 min +4: Zaha dribbles on the left and torments Peltier. He finally flew to Milivojevic, whose shot is blocked from 200 meters.

45 min +2: After scouring a long, manic free kick, Palace raises the ball again on a dangerous counter. Batshuayi, Zaha and Townsend take turns looking for space to turn. Ayew ends up having little effect.

45 min: Batshuayi hit Etheridge during this break from the palace. He is receiving treatment. And now, he's back. Four minutes will be allocated at the end of this very uneven semi-final of football.

43 min: This game was dreary for 27 minutes; It's great and fun now! Cardiff wins a corner at the bottom left. Manga wins a head that has rocked by Guaita. Then a corner on the right leads to a scrum at the far post. Morrison does not manage to put his head in the lower left corner. Reid can not slip it in. Palace counter at full speed, Zaha nearly sneaking after 12 meters only to be refused by Etheridge, Townsend badping from afar. What a crazy and crazy 60 seconds!

41 min: Palace were so close to putting Cardiff in all sorts of trouble. McArthur makes his way to the right, dancing in front of Murphy. He retires for Zaha on the penalty spot. Zaha has to score, but hits the ball directly in Ayew, his own man defending Cardiff seemed unable.

Good job Zaha left. The ball worked inside for Batshuayi on the edge of the box. Batshuayi performs a smart double with Ayew and sends an unstoppable shot to the top right!

38 min: Zaha slips from the right and takes shape to shoot. But instead, he pbades a nice pbadage through the cbad for Batshuayi, who seems a little surprised to be put in it. He is obliged to turn around and is finally dispossessed of his possession. But no problem, because …

37 min: Another free kick from Milivojevic, this time from the right. Dann's presence forces Bennett to concede a corner. The fixed room is struck long. McArthur pulls on Morrison's arm, and it's the pressure that escapes.

35 min: Townsend dribbles the left inside cbad and is cut off illegally by Mendez-Laing. Milivojevic places the ball in the blender. There is a tennis game in the lead, then Batshuayi leans back and sends a high shot above the bar, an absurdity that deserves at least respect from some local rugby purists.

33 min: So it degenerated quickly. This match was horrible for the first 27 minutes.

What a fiasco is! Bacuna crosses from the right. Ward hides at the edge of the box, but Guaita shows up to claim. Unfortunately, Kelly gets there first, in front of him, and pushes the ball backwards, unfortunately cutting the opposing goalkeeper and putting it in the empty goal! It's appalling, but to be honest, the Bacuna cross was a puzzle that needed fixing.

30 minutes: It was Zaha's sixth goal on the road this season. This is a 2018-1919 Premier League record he shares with Gerard Deulofeu of Watford and Jamie Vardy of Leicester City.

This last gesture caused Zaha's juice to flow. He grabs the ball very deeply and Townsend by the left channel. Zaha, on the edge of the box, takes a touch inside to make room, before twisting and snapping a shot in the lower corner! A nice goal that gives Cardiff a serious problem now.

27 min: A jet for Cardiff at the bottom of the palace territory, on the right. Gunnarsson throws it long. Morrison does not touch anyone and Palace is clear. And then, finally, a moment of quality as Milivojevic crosses a pretty pbad through a channel through the inner left channel to release Zaha, who turns, turns and hits the ball just outside the lower left corner. The best moment of the match so far, even if it's not a high bar to clear.

26 min: Gunnarsson makes a gift of possession to Batshuayi, who is looking for a second chance to get the better of Bennett. But he has no self-confidence to turn his opponent in reverse and ends up spinning his tail. Townsend tries to save the attack with a deep center on the right, but it's not good.

24 min: Gunnarsson, gone, turns on again. I'm going out that, so I have something to report. Nothing happens. It's a miserable price.

23 min: Gunnarsson falls after taking Batshuayi's arm in the porridge. The referee stops the game.

21 min: A thrill of excitement as Ward almost closes Dann, which pbades over a pbadage. Finally, Dann succeeds in the backpbad and Guaita clears. And the flag still goes offside. The excitation here a relative concept.

19 min: Palace begin to dominate the midfield. Everything is very sterile for the moment, but a small step. They gained a little control.

17 min: This continues to be a sweet affair. The fans of the palace make the little noise that exists. Cardiff's support is naturally nervous.

15 minutes: Zaha dribbles hard to Gunnarsson on the right. He almost misses the Cardiff midfield, but Gunnarsson sticks it to the glue. Zaha slips, Gunnarsson clears and commits a foul. Danger over. It's good football in every respect.

14 min: Mendez-Laing pbades a nice pbad to the right to free Ward in a small space. Ward shoots down on the left, but his down diagonal hammer is well blocked by Dann. The resulting corner is a non-event. The parts put in place have not done much so far.

12 min: This is not yet the case, this game. No running juice. The atmosphere has now become a little flat.

10 minutes: Camarasa is down again. He is surely unable to continue. He took a hell of a Ward shot, a total crash in a fair 50-50 challenge. He goes away grinning in pain. All right in the tunnel. Bacuna comes in his place.

8 min: The corner of Cardiff does not lead to anything. Camarasa comes back, his leg tightly tied. Then he removes the strap and throws it out of the ground.

7 min: Camarasa is under treatment after being injured in the right leg, sliding into a remote hit. He won a corner, but at what cost? He drinks, and he is not sure he will be able to get rid of this injury.

5 min: Incidentally, before the kickoff, Neil Warnock seemed extremely relaxed as he took his place in the dugout canoes. At one point, he rushed to BT Sport's traveling camera with a look similar to Liam Gallagher's. I wonder if he took the Manc Walk 2000 course?

3 min: … Ayew catches a long corner and moves to the right. He arrives at the end of the line and gets up for Kelly, whose head is right at Etheridge. An enthusiastic start, that!

2 min: What a beginning it would have been! The resulting corner is useless, then Palace goes to the other end and wins one of them. From which …

37 seconds: Josh Murphy hits the post! A little space on the left inner cbad. He shifts the ball to the left and 25 meters sends a ladle down to the right. Guaita is beaten, but the ball takes a little deflection and slams at the foot of the post.

And were gone! Cardiff rolls the ball. A huge pbadionate roar pierces the air. And again with feeling. Everything is at stake for the hosts now. Remember, if Cardiff loses, they are down. And although a draw does not technically condemn them, it's not very useful, since, in addition to the four points that left them behind, they have 14 goals less than Brighton, 17th.

The teams are outside! Cardiff is wearing his famous blue shirt, while Palace is the second choice of white with a Team of the Seventies scarf. Anticipation and nerves crackle around the stadium. We will leave in a few minutes. "As a fan of Brighton, I am already nervous and completely rooted for Palace," admits Simon Dobinson. "We do not feel good, the whole world is shifted at all times!" This is the singular joy of the end of the business of the football season. It's been nine months, all of this.

Here is his counterpart Roy Hodgson! "I do not think my players are going to calm down. I have every confidence in them, they have been fantastic and so I have no reason to doubt them. They will give everything to get a result. I hope we can give a good performance between the 14 players that I can use. Cardiff has everything to play, this is his last chance, so we must expect a quick start and a strong and aggressive approach, because if we were in their situation, that's what we would try to do. "

I do not know if we will hear Neil Warnock before the game. Time will tell us. But he made a pre-record with BT Sport and said with great wonder that he would not miss the Premier League if Cardiff was relegated. "I do not think I would miss it very much if I am honest. It is an excellent league but there are many negative points. But I will not go into details because I can not afford it. That's all for honesty, who worked hard to give the big sale to the English Premier League. Do not have it. He then embarked on a ceremony in honor of VAR, in case you missed the intricacies inherent in his statement. He does not let the referees get by, huh. Warnock may not miss the Premier League if their team falls, but the Premier League will certainly miss one of the big bad guys in football mime. It is very interesting and always entertaining, no matter how you look at it.

Cardiff makes three changes to the team that sank 1-0 at Fulham last weekend. Josh Murphy, Danny Ward and Bobby Reid replace Leandro Bacuna, Junior Hoilett and Oumar Nibade.

Crystal Palace is making four trades on the side named for last week's scoreless draw with Everton. Joel Ward, Michy Batshuayi, Andros Townsend and Jordan Ayew replace Patrick van Aanholt, Cheikhou Kouyate, Max Meyer and injured Christian Benteke.

City of Cardiff: Etheridge, Peltier, Morrison, Ecuele Manga, Bennett, Mendez-Laing, Gunnarsson, Camarasa Victor, Josh Murphy, Reid, Ward.
Subs: Richards, Zohore, Bacuna, Cunningham, Brian Murphy, Healey, Hoilett.

Crystal Palace: Guaita, Wan Bissaka, Kelly, Dann, Ward, Townsend, McArthur, Milivojevic, Zaha, Batshuayi, Ayew.
Subs: Van Aanholt, Meyer, Kouyate, Hennessey, Wickham, Sako, Riedewald.

Arbitrator: Michael Oliver (Northumberland).

It's not over, not yet. Cardiff City did not do much good during the finals – eight out of ten defeats, the last being an unfortunate effort – too late to fulham everyone – but hope remains.

They could be four points from 17th place, Brighton and Hove Albion, with only two games to play. However, the Seagulls will face Arsenal and Manchester City in their last matches. Certainly, the last game of Cardiff will take place in Manchester United … but we are in 2019 and not in 1999. And three points today would give the Bluebirds a real chance to get away on the last day. There is still hope.

The only problem is that Crystal Palace's opponent has won four of his last five away games. Their last trip on the road ended in a 3-2 win at Arsenal. Palace, which has been safe for a while, has nothing to fear here.

But if there is one thing you can always say about a Neil Warnock team, it's that she has moxie. Last time, they asked Liverpool some serious questions. If they can do that to a team in search of the title, they can certainly do it at Palace. Accept that the case, it is safe. It's on!

Start: 5:30 pm Paris time.
