Crystal Palace made a stunning entrance into the Europa League with a commanding 4-0 victory over Lech Poznan at Selhurst Park on their debut in the tournament.

The match nearly took a disastrous turn for the Eagles when Mikael Ishak squandered a golden opportunity for the visitors, missing from just six yards out within the first three minutes.

However, it was Yeremy Pino who opened the scoring for Palace shortly after, intercepting a poor throw from Terry Yegbe and slotting the ball into the corner of the net.

Key moments included:

• 10' GOAL: Pino capitalizes on Yegbe's error to put Palace ahead.
• 27' GOAL: Chris Richards heads in from an Adam Wharton corner, doubling the lead.
• 34' PENALTY: Pino is fouled by Radoslaw Murawski, leading to a penalty.
• 34' GOAL: Jorgen Strand Larsen converts the penalty with precision.

The second half saw Murawski receive a red card for a second yellow, leaving Lech Poznan down to ten men. In the dying minutes, substitute Eddie Nketiah sealed the victory with a well-placed shot into the bottom corner.

This match marks a significant milestone for Crystal Palace, showcasing their potential in European competition and setting a positive tone for their upcoming fixtures.
