Palace started brightly in the first-half, creating a number of chances from open play and half-chances via set pieces. Ademola Ola-Adebomi and Rio Cardines had chances saved, while Joe Gibbard’s corners were a constant threat.
Halfway through the half Ola-Adebomi nearly capped off a sensational solo effort as he skipped past nearly half of the Dulwich team, but his effort was parried away by Dillon Barnes in the Dulwich goal.
Just a few minutes later, against the run of play, Dulwich took the lead through George Porter. He got on the end of a Luke Wanadio cross to finish from close range in the pouring rain.
The Eagles threatened on a breakaway after a stunning Jesse Derry pass to switch the play, but then found themselves back defending almost immediately as Jackson Izquierdo made a fingertip save to stop Danny Mills’ effort.
Izquierdo’s save ensured that Palace went into the break a goal down, despite enjoying more of the ball and creating more chances in the first-half.
It was all-change for the second-half, with the aim of giving more players minutes in their legs at the start of pre-season.
Palace started the second-half much like they did in the first, with Jemiah Umolu leading the line and coming close to levelling things up after linking up well with Freddie Cowin.
