Crystal Palace secured a place in the Conference League final with a 2‑1 victory over Shakhtar Donetsk at Selhurst Park, completing a 5‑2 aggregate triumph. Ismaila Sarr’s decisive goal sealed the win after Shakhtar briefly leveled.

The match saw Palace deploy the same lineup that earned a 3‑1 edge in the first leg, with Daniel Muñoz converting a moment‑after‑save opener. Shakhtar’s early threat faded as Palace’s defensive shape tightened, leaving the visitors scrambling.

Manager Glasner celebrated his 50th win for the club, adding a potential fairy‑tale farewell to his tenure. The victory propels Palace to face Rayo Vallecano in Leipzig, while Nottingham Forest exits the Europa League on the same evening.

Palace now prepare for the final on May 27 at the Red Bull Arena. The club’s season could see a historic trophy added to its FA Cup and Community Shield collection.
