Beşiktaş vs Crystal Palace in the English press

English sports broadcaster Sky Sports wrote that the Crystal Palace defence was ineffective against Beşiktaş. The report stressed that Beşiktaş scored with their first shot on target.

Sky Sports said Crystal Palace were effective in the opening minutes of the match. Mateta's goal in the 5th minute was disallowed after a VAR review for offside. Ndidi's goal in the final moments of the first half was judged to be against the run of play. In the second half, the English side took control with goals from Pino and Mateta, but could not stop Olaitan's goal. Beşiktaş were reduced to ten men after a red card in the 77th minute. Sky Sports noted that it was Mateta's first moment of joy since the UEFA Conference League final last season.

The Times wrote that Crystal Palace missed a win that could have given them a morale boost and put a stop to their poor run. The paper said the English side had improved their performance after a heavy defeat to Brighton, but repeated their defensive errors. The report also covered the growing pressure on head coach Sage. A incident between Mateta and Ndidi, with footage of a shirt pull, drew attention on social media, while the referee's decision not to award a foul sparked debate.

The Guardian reported that Crystal Palace missed out on a win but showed clear improvement compared with the 5-0 defeat to Brighton. The paper highlighted the quality of Olaitan's equaliser, scored from long range.
