Crystal Palace continued their pre-season tour of America with a 1-0 victory over Philadelphia Union.
Tony Pulis went with a similar line-up to the previous game against Columbus Crew, except that Marouane Chamakh was chosen to partner Dwight Gayle instead of Glenn Murray.
Palace took the lead through an own goal in the 20th minute, Union's Ethan White put under pressure by Chamakh headed into his own net.
Palace continued to press in the first half, with Yannick Bolasie impressing. In the 29th minute he produced a great bicycle kick but failed to hit the back of the net.
In the second half Palace brought on a number of substitutes, including Paddy McCarthy who only lasted 10 minutes before being subbed for Peter Ramage.
Union almost snatched an equaliser near the end but Sebastien Le Toux's shot narrowly past Julian Speroni's right hand post.
Palace now travel to Richmond for their final game of their 3 game USA tour with a match against the Richmond Kickers on Tuesday (29th) morning at midnight (BST).
Palace: Speroni, Ward (Mariappa, 50), Dann (McCarthy, 54, (Ramage, 65)), Delaney, Jerome Williams (Boateng, 65), Puncheon (Bannan, 54), Jedinak (O'Keefe, 50), Ledley (Gray, 65), Bolasie (Thomas, 54), Chamakh (Guedioura, 65), Gayle (Murray, 50)
