Crystal Palace’s hopes of a first-ever European trophy remain alive after a hard-fought 1-1 draw at Zrinjski Mostar in the first leg of their Conference League knockout play-off.

But Oliver Glasner’s side failed to hold on to that lead as Karlo Abramovic drilled home a deserved equaliser 10 minutes into the second half and it could have been worse for the Eagles after the Video Assistant Referee recommended a late penalty, only for the on-field official to decide otherwise.
