The Premier League match between Crystal Palace and Liverpool at Selhurst Park was temporarily suspended on Saturday, September 27, 2025, due to a medical emergency in the crowd. The incident occurred in the first half, around the 14th minute, prompting immediate concern from players on the field.

Liverpool were preparing to take a free-kick on the edge of the Crystal Palace penalty area when Dominik Szoboszlai and Crystal Palace defender Daniel Munoz both noticed the emergency unfolding in the stands and quickly alerted referee Chris Kavanagh. Kavanagh immediately stopped the game, and medical staff from both clubs rushed to provide assistance to the ailing supporter.

Crystal Palace posted on X (formerly Twitter): "There has been a break in play due to an incident in the crowd. Our thoughts are with all those involved".

The match was halted for approximately seven minutes while medical personnel attended to the individual. Commentators at the game reported that the supporter appeared to be fine as the match resumed. Security staff, medics, and stewards remained in the vicinity of the incident as play continued. The nature of the medical emergency remains unclear.

Applause was heard around Selhurst Park as the medical staff made their way back across the pitch.

Prior to the suspension, Crystal Palace had taken the lead through an early goal from Ismaila Sarr. Liverpool were trailing 1-0 when the medical emergency occurred.
