Glasner Hails Palace's 'Huge Achievement' in Europe

Oliver Glasner hailed Crystal Palace's 'huge European night' after the Eagles booked a spot in the Conference League final against Rayo Vallecano, following an electric evening at Selhurst Park.

Match Summary

Ismaila Sarr now leads the competition with nine goals after scoring in the second half of Palace's 2-1 semi-final second-leg victory against Shakhtar Donetsk, settling the tie 5-2 on aggregate. Daniel Munoz instigated a Pedro Henrique own goal to open the scoring in the 25th minute, which was cancelled out by Eguinaldo's stylish equaliser before the break. Sarr, already instrumental to Palace's European run, ensured more history will be written this season.

Glasner's Reaction

'It was electric,' said Glasner. 'A fantastic atmosphere. A great night at Selhurst. And of course it was the right result and a huge achievement, huge congratulations and credit to the players. The commitment today, the effort, the discipline, was exceptional, and I always believed that we would create chances and score goals. At the end we all got the reward with Ismaila Sarr scoring the goal. A huge performance, and a huge European night.'
