"Having left the pitch after last week's first leg with supporters calling for the Austrian manager to be sacked in the morning, Maxence Lacroix's first-half header made it a much more harmonious evening for Glasner and his side. They spurned a number of opportunities to wrap up the victory over Zrinjski Mostar before Evann Guessand eventually did late on."
"Having been demoted from the Europa League to the Conference League after winning the FA Cup last season, Palace's first European campaign will continue against either Cypriot side Larnaca who they lost to during the group stages or Mainz from Germany."
"Palace rejected a request from the supporters group responsible for the banner directed against Glasner in their last match against Wolves to turn off the music so they could back the team during the pre-match warm-up on the grounds that Uefa's regulations wouldn't allow it."
Crystal Palace progressed in the Conference League after a turbulent period marked by supporter calls for manager Oliver Glasner's dismissal. Following a 1-1 first-leg draw in Bosnia, Palace secured a 2-1 victory at home with goals from Maxence Lacroix and Evann Guessand. The club faced continued supporter unrest, evidenced by banners criticizing ticket prices and management decisions. Despite internal discord and empty seats in the stadium, Palace's travelling supporters created atmosphere during the match. The club will face either Cypriot side Larnaca or German club Mainz in the next round. Palace's European campaign continues after winning the FA Cup last season but being demoted from the Europa League to the Conference League.
