—- Crystal Palace continued their impressive start to the season with a new club record as they opened their Conference League campaign with a comfortable victory against Dynamo Kyiv in Poland.

Daniel Munoz’s looping header from Yeremy Pino’s back-post cross put them on their way to success in their first ever game in the main phase of a European competition.

Substitute Eddie Nketiah doubled Palace’s advantage just before the hour mark with a sharp close-range finish after a wonderful bit of skill and incisive delivery from Pino on the left.

That sent around 3,500 travelling supporters into raptures and not even the dismissal of Croatian full-back Borna Sosa – for two yellow cards carelessly collected in a three-minute period – in the 76th minute could spoil their party.

By full-time they were not only celebrating a historic first away win in Europe, but breaking a club mark, set back in 1969, by extending their unbeaten run to 19 matches across all competitions.

It was no more than Oliver Glasner’s side deserved against opponents who, in recent times, have struggled to live up to their rich European pedigree of previous decades.

Nketiah might have had two had he not just strayed offside to collect Adam Wharton’s pass, just moments before his effort that did count. Daichi Kamada’s first-half run also deserved more than a tame finish that ended with an easy save for Kiev keeper Ruslan Neshcheret.

The only disappointment was Sosa’s red card, picking up quick bookings for a late challenge on Shola Ogundana and then needlessly barging over Oleksandr Tymchyk.
