Crystal Palace Cruise Past Dynamo Kyiv in Conference League Debut
2 Oct
Summary
- Crystal Palace win 2-0 in their first-ever major European fixture
- Goals from Daniel Munoz and Eddie Nketiah secure the victory
- Palace extend their unbeaten run to a club record 19 games
On October 2nd, 2025, Crystal Palace made a triumphant start to their Conference League campaign, securing a comfortable 2-0 victory over Dynamo Kyiv. In their first-ever major European fixture, the Eagles underlined their title credentials with a professional performance at the Lublin Arena.
Despite a slow start, Palace broke the deadlock just past the half-hour mark when Daniel Munoz headed home Yeremy Pino's pinpoint cross. The south Londoners' flying wing-backs gave them a different dimension, and minutes later, Borna Sosa nearly scored a second from the opposite flank.
Palace continued to dominate the match, and in the 58th minute, Eddie Nketiah doubled their lead with a low finish after being set up by Adam Wharton. The 21-year-old midfielder has been in impressive form, and his recent run of performances has come at the perfect time for Palace.
Even after Sosa's second-half dismissal, Palace remained in control, showcasing their ability to be both inventive and industrious. The victory extends their unbeaten run to a club record 19 games, and they will now look to consolidate their standing in the league phase with two home games against AEK Larnaca and AZ Alkmaar.
