Dynamo Kyiv vs Crystal Palace LIVE!

Crystal Palace made an impressive start to their Conference League campaign by beating Dynamo Kyiv 2-0. It was a remarkably composed performance from the Eagles, who were playing the league or pool stage of a European competition for the first time but showed none of the nerves one might have expected. They dominated possession from the off but struggled to create shooting chances.

Until, that is, a looping Daniel Munoz header nodded Yeremy Pino’s cross home at the back post to open the scoring right on the half-hour mark. The second came shortly after half-time, as Eddie Nketiah fired home from close range mere moments after having another goal ruled out for a marginal offside. Palace’s comfortable win threatened to unravel as Borna Sosa picked up a brace of bookings just two minutes apart and was dismissed, leaving the Eagles a man down for the last quarter of an hour.

Dynamo pressed on in search of an unlikely comeback, invigorated by their new advantage, but could not find a breakthrough. They finished the match with a solitary shot on target.
