Palace beat Ipswich 2-1 on the opening day of the season, with new signing James Scowcroft, and Jobi McAnuff getting on the score sheet.
The Eagles went one goal down in the first half, but hit back with two goals within three second half minutes.
Nicky Forster gave Ipswich the lead on 29 minutes, after he burst past Mark Hudson and slotted the ball home.
Palace took Clinton Morrison off at half time and replaced him with Dougie Freedman. Freedman's presence turned the game for Palace, and it wasn't long before Jobi McAnuff scored an equaliser for the Eagles. Just three minutes later new signing James Scowcroft bundled the ball home to put Palace in front, after Hudson's header was cleared off the line.
Palace's next match will be against Southend at Selhurst Park on Tuesday night.
