Soccer-Schade on target as Brentford boost European hopes with win at Ipswich

Soccer Football - Premier League - Ipswich Town v Brentford - Portman Road, Ipswich, Britain - May 10, 2025 Brentford's Kevin Schade scores their first goal past Ipswich Town's Alex Palmer and Dara O'Shea REUTERS/David Klein IPSWICH, England (Reuters) -Brentford boosted their hopes of playing European football next season as they beat already-relegated Ipswich Town 1-0 thanks to a first-half header by Kevin Schade at Portman Road in the Premier League on Saturday. With four successive wins, Brentford are eighth in the standings with 55 points from 36 matches. Ipswich sit 18th on 22 points with just four wins. Ipswich had made a bright start to the game and came close to an opener after just three minutes but striker Liam Delap's header was comfortably saved by goalkeeper Mark Flekken. But it was Brentford who took the lead when Schade met a corner from fellow forward Bryan Mbeumo in the 18th minute, steering the ball into the far corner after some confusion in the box. German Schade has now scored four goals in his last three Premier League games, while Cameroon international Mbeumo became just the third player to be directly involved in more than 25 goals in the Premier League this season after Liverpool talisman Mohamed Salah and Newcastle United's Alexander Isak. Yoane Wissa nearly put Brentford 2-0 up minutes after the interval but the forward's effort was saved by goalkeeper Alex Palmer, who made another fine save to keep out Mbeumo's right-foot volley in the 73rd minute. Brentford, who kept up the pressure and constantly looked dangerous, were denied a penalty in the 69th minute after Axel Tuanzebe pulled fellow defender Nathan Collins to the ground. However, it was a far from comfortable afternoon for Brentford as Ipswich pushed for a equaliser late on with Flekken having to come to their rescue in added time when he made a brilliant point-blank save to deny centre back Cameron Burgess. Brentford, who have never qualified for Europe, next host 11th-placed Fulham on May 18 before taking a trip to 14th-placed Wolverhampton Wanderers for their final game of the season on May 25.

'Helps to have that bond when we've got to roll up our sleeves'

Ipswich goalkeeper Alex Palmer has praised the "close bond and relationship" between the team as it proving to be a big positive in their fight to stay in the Premier only signing from West Bromwich Albion in the January transfer window, Palmer has already seen the impact of having a squad that has progressed through the ranks together during the tough times."It has been a bit of a whirlwind," said Palmer. "Knowing a few of the lads has helped me to settle in a little bit quicker and so has just being thrown in. Everyone is then able to see what you are about. It's all well and good doing that in training, but getting stuck into games helps."I've really enjoyed the day-to-day training environment and camaraderie. You can see why they have been so successful in the past few years."It's hugely important to have that and keeping the players who have had that success has been pivotal. There is a close bond and relationship, so that helps when it is tough on the pitch."It helps to have that friendship and bond when we've got to roll up our sleeves and dig in together. I think you can see that we are not rolling over lightly."But the Premier League is ruthless. Hopefully we can be on the right side of a result this weekend."
