Muñoz and Nketiah on mark as Palace make European history

The Crystal Palace juggernaut is showing no signs of slowing down.

Goals from Daniel Muñoz and the substitute Eddie Nketiah ensured Oliver Glasner's side marked their first appearance in the main phase of a European competition with a comfortable victory over Dynamo Kyiv despite a late red card for Borna Sosa.

It was the perfect reward for the 3,500 supporters who had made the pilgrimage from south London to southern Poland as Palace made it 19 games unbeaten in all competitions to establish a new club record that dates back more than 50 years.

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.

"I'm proud that we could start the Conference League with a win, away, against very good opposition," said Glasner. "I don't think about this run, because this already happened, so for me, it's important what comes next. And next comes Everton and a new stadium. Really looking forward to this game, great atmosphere, great stadium."
