"Against opponents who have enjoyed plenty of famous European nights in their storied history but are no longer the same force of old due to the ongoing war with Russia, there was only ever going to be one winner as Glasner's side showed they are well equipped to go all the way to the final in Leipzig despite their inexperience at this level."
"And next comes Everton and a new stadium. Really looking forward to this game, great atmosphere, great stadium. He may have played it down but you have to go all the way back to 1969 for the last time Palace managed to go undefeated for 18 games under their former manager Bert Head when they achieved promotion to the old First Division for the first time in their history."
Crystal Palace beat Dynamo Kyiv 2-0, with Daniel Munoz scoring and substitute Eddie Nketiah adding a second. The win marked Palace's first match in the main phase of a European competition and extended their unbeaten run to 19 games, establishing a new club record not seen since 1969. Around 3,500 travelling supporters attended the victory in southern Poland. A late red card for Borna Sosa did not alter the outcome. Dynamo Kyiv fielded a partly rotated side, recalling veteran Andriy Yarmolenko. Palace displayed confidence after recent Premier League form and appeared capable of a deep Conference League run despite limited European experience.
