Crystal Palace and Accrington Stanley have played out a 1-1 preseason friendly draw.

Palace started with plenty of attacking endeavour, which wasn't surprising given Eberechi Eze, Jean-Philippe Mateta, Jesurun Rak-Sakyi and Odsonne Edouard all started.

Rak-Sakyi had the first opportunity, firing wide from 18-yards-out after his perfectly timed run was picked out by Edouard.

For all their possession it was a breakaway move that saw Palace take the lead. Edouard fed Mateta and the Frenchman showed great poise to beat the last defender and fire home.

Rak-Sakyi could have made it two shortly after when Eze drove through midfield and picked him out, but the 'keeper got down well to save.

At half-time, Vieira made 11 changes and introduced several Academy players, including three young defenders in Dan Quick, David Boateng and Killian Phillips.

Stanley hit back quickly, a well struck volley from Matt Lowe beating Remi Matthews after a dangerous cross wasn't cleared. They nearly had a second straight away as another challenging ball in was met by a red shirt, only for the header to cannon off the crossbar.

Crystal Palace line-up:

First-half: Guaita; Ward, Watson, Tomkins, Mitchell; Hughes, Eze, Schlupp; Rak-Sakyi, Mateta, Edouard.

Second-half: Matthews; Clyne, Quick, Phillips, D. Boateng; Riedewald, McArthur, M. Boateng (Raymond, 85); Plange, Benteke, Street.
