Plymouth took the lead through Amaechi, before Watts struck at 25:09 and 36:44. His second goal made it 3-0, and the hosts carried that advantage into half-time. Crystal Palace U21 got on the scoresheet at 56:23 when Donte Martin pulled one back, but Campbell restored the three-goal cushion at 65:34. Pepple added the fifth at 83:10.
The score offers a straightforward summary of the scoring stats: four different Plymouth players found the net, Watts was the only player to score twice, and Martin supplied the visitors’ sole goal. The main highlights were the hosts’ three first-half finishes and their response after conceding. At full time, the 5-1 result reflected a second half in which Plymouth added two goals and allowed one.
