The first half's most noteworthy moment occurred in the 13th minute when forward Eberechi Eze's powerful free-kick found the back of the net. However, VAR intervened, determining that Crystal Palace center-back Marc Guehi was standing less than a meter from Chelsea's defensive wall during the kick. Consequently, the goal was disallowed, and Chelsea was awarded an indirect free kick.
