In the 13th minute, a goal was scored in the hosts' net. After a free kick, the ball rebounded off the post, but Brian McBride was the first to reach it and send it into the net – 0-1. However, just six minutes later, Darren Ambrose equalized the score.
Slightly later, Wayne Routledge and Marcus Bent exchanged dangerous shots, and in the 32nd minute, the referee disallowed Darren Bent's goal from an offside position.
Nevertheless, Darren Bent managed to score in the 45th minute, after "Fulham" defender Liam Rosenior played lackadaisically, Carlos Bocanegra took the ball and passed it to D. Bent, who struck accurately – 2-1.
In the 66th minute, "Charlton" goalkeeper Scott Carson deflected a dangerous shot by C. Bocanegra. In the 77th minute, the hosts' goalkeeper Dennis Rommedahl responded with a threatening shot, which was blocked by Anti Niemi.
Just when it seemed that former West Ham coach Alan Pardew would secure a victory in his debut match with "Charlton," Fulham managed to salvage a draw. In the 93rd minute, after a penalty near the hosts' goal, the ball fell to Fulham defender Frank Queudrue, who calmly struck it into the net – 2-2. This was the first French goal of the season.
After these drawn matches, Charlton remains in 19th place, while Fulham shares 11th-12th place with Newcastle.
