On September 17, 2025, a match between Chelsea and Crystal Palace took place at Stamford Bridge, ending in a goalless draw. Chelsea, with their new manager Enzo Maresca, failed to capitalize on their opportunities, despite their status as world champions.

Crystal Palace, who recently won the FA Cup, looked like a more organized team. Already in the 13th minute, Ebenezer Eze scored a goal from a penalty, but after a VAR review, he was ruled out due to a foul by Marc Guehi.

Both teams had their moments, but neither could find the back of the net. Chelsea, who suffered from a lack of physical preparation, could not find a way past the goalkeeper. In the second half, after the substitution of Jamie Hittington for Estevan, Chelsea added energy to their attack, but again failed to convert their chances.

The final minutes of the match presented several opportunities for Chelsea, but the anticipated result remained elusive. This night was a disappointment for Chelsea, who are eager to compete for the title this season.
