Crystal Palace secured their ticket to the UEFA Europa Conference League final after defeating Shakhtar Donetsk 2-1 in the second leg of the semi-final at Selhurst Park, clinching qualification with an aggregate score of 5-2 over the two matches. The match was thrilling, with a large crowd in attendance and a festive atmosphere in London.

Palace opened the scoring with an own goal by Pereira Pedrinho in the 25th minute, before Shakhtar equalized through Lemos Eginado in the 34th minute. However, the English team quickly regained the advantage in the second half through star Ismaila Sarr in the 52nd minute, confirming their superiority in the match.

Despite Shakhtar's attempts to get back into the match, Crystal Palace's defense and tactical organization under coach Oliver Glasner prevented that, with the continued threat of counterattacks making the difference in the game, especially with the standout performances of several players in midfield and attack.

With this victory, Crystal Palace sets a date for the anticipated final against Rayo Vallecano in the German city of Leipzig on May 27, marking a historic achievement for the club as it continues to write one of its most remarkable European stories in its first continental season.
