Crystal Palace 2-0 (3-1) Zrinjski Mostar LIVE – Guessand seals huge win for Eagles

Guessand GOAL!

He played a lovely one-two with Johnson, and received the ball in the box, before shooting across Karacic. Some poor goalkeeping seals the game for Palace.

Juric misses a big chance. Zrinjski had a corner which he got on the end off, and from six yards headed wide.

Four minutes added on.

Sarr misses an easy on-on-one with the goalkeeper, and he was onside.

It looked for all the world as if he was offside, and the fact he was on makes the already bad miss all the worse.

That had to go into the back of the net.

Those two Palace chances have been the best of the second period. Palace have to pray they don’t get caught and rue those missed opportunities now.

Mitchell whips in a good ball on the left and Sarr was in the box and got his head to it, but just wide.

Guessand robs Barisic and drives into the box. He does well before attempting a dink, which Karacic saves well.

Sarr was set away but took too long cutting in inside the box, and Zrinjski defenders got back. Chance wasted.

Larsen off for Johnson.

Despite losing, the Zrinjski ultras are enjoying themselves. They have set off some flares and are chanting and waving their flags.

Zrinjski have the ball in the back of the net but Mikic was ruled offside.

The ball falls to Larsen from a free kick, two yards from goal, but he knew nothing about it and it bounces off him and just wide.

The best Palace chance of the second half has just fallen to Richards from a free kick, but he has missed the header.

Wharton off for Hughes.

No surprise to see that. Wharton was walking into a sending off.

Zrinjski are just starting to have a few positive moments and rile up the crowd here.

Palace could do with a second.

Just two minutes after his booking he has committed another foul. He has to be careful here.

Wharton booked for a high challenge on Ivancic.

Kamada gets us back underway for Palace.

The job is halfway done for Palace. They have been professional and impressive.

Another half like that and they will be in the round of 16.

Abramovic booked for pulling back Guessand.

The game is far from done, but the Palace fans seem to be enjoying themselves.

It has been a good performance so far from Palace, and they deserve to be ahead.

GOAL for Palace.

They had a free-kick on the left, Wharton took it and delivered perfectly to Lacroix, who headed in.

Much needed, and it had been coming.

Yellow card for Djurasek for pulling back Guessand.

Larsen is carded for a dangerously high boot. Can have no complaints. That was not smart. Foul was on Savic, who is now bleeding.
