"After labouring to a 1-1 draw in Bosnia last week, Palace dominated the early exchanges in their hunt for the advantage in the tie, with Evann Guessand and Daichi Kamada going close. They made the all-important breakthrough on 28 minutes when the exellent Adam Wharton's free-kick from the left-hand side was put on a sixpence for Maxence Lacroix to turn home into the far corner to put the Eagles in command of the tie."
"Zrjinski had offered very little up to that point but threatened to equalise just a few minutes later but Leo Mikic completely fluffed his lines at the crucial moment. The hosts recovered from a nervy start to the first half and assumed much of the control again, although another goal to make the game comfortable proved elusive."
"But it was Guessand who would finally finish off the tie in added time, netting his second goal in as many games as he slotted the ball into the far corner to cue huge relief inside Selhurst Park."
Crystal Palace secured progression to the Conference League last 16 by defeating Zrinjski Mostar 2-0 in their second leg play-off match at Selhurst Park. Following a 1-1 draw in Bosnia, Palace controlled the early stages and broke through on 28 minutes when Adam Wharton's free-kick found Maxence Lacroix, who turned the ball home into the far corner. Zrinjski briefly threatened an equalizer but failed to capitalize on their chance. Palace dominated possession throughout but struggled to add a second goal despite multiple opportunities from Chris Richards, Evann Guessand, and Ismaila Sarr. Guessand finally sealed the tie in added time, scoring his second goal in consecutive games to secure a comfortable aggregate victory.
