That paved the way for six further Palace substitutions, including a debut for new signing Ismaïla Sarr, who lined up on the right-hand side of attack.
Nantes were soon to follow with their own array of changes, with the pace of the game admittedly slowing thereafter.
Jordan Ayew was perhaps the brightest spark in a red and blue shirt, drawing several fouls which led to free-kicks in promising positions, but the visitors defended the deliveries well.
With just over a minute left, it looked like the No. 9’s quick feet may have bought him space to blast home the winner – but his effort was once again charged down.
Another valuable exercise and, with their pre-season now concluded unbeaten across five matches, Palace can look forward to the 2024/25 Premier League campaign in earnest.
