At the time, Palace were leading 1-0 with Jean-Philippe Mateta&#8217;s first goal in the first half.<\/p>\n<p>But the screen suddenly disappeared from action at Selhurst Park. An entire minute of Sky Sports coverage was devoted to various advertisements for Guinness 0.0, 28 years later, McDonald&#8217;s, and Haier.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>After a minute of advertising, London activity returned at 47:33. As the half-time whistle blew, various advertisements appeared at the right time.<\/p>\n<p>This strange cut left viewers confused by the mistake. One said: &#8220;I didn&#8217;t want to watch the last three minutes of Fulham v Palace in the first half anyway.&#8221; Another added: &#8220;Watching Palace v Fulham but the game is still going on&#8230;Sky Sports only cuts out ads.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Another fan wrote to X: &#8220;Sky saw Pino on the ball on the edge of the box and executed an ad break.&#8221; A third said: &#8220;There was an ad break during the Palace-Fulham match even though the first half wasn&#8217;t over yet??&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Another user on The referee initially ended the match after just 85 minutes, even though there was still time to play.<\/p>\n<p>In the second half, Sky Sports resumed normal service, but surprisingly without any advertising. Fulham were trailing in the opening 45 minutes, but Tom Cairney came off the bench to equalize.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They (Crystal Palace) like compact, low blocks. We know that in the first half they will come for more, but after scoring there are 10 men behind the ball,&#8221; said Marco Silva.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But we have to be patient. Tom Cairney, of course, has given us more quality in terms of decision-making, passing, getting the ball inside faster. That&#8217;s why he came on. Once again he showed his quality and his ability. His quality and decision-making are at a very high level.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We all know he&#8217;s an important player for us even when he&#8217;s not playing.
