"But despite entering the break in the ascendency, Palace were stunned by two goals in three minutes, the first of which came from Piotr Parzyszek in the 50th minute. Parzyszek finished into the roof of the net after good work from Saku Savolainen before Cisse turned Clinton Antwi's shot at goal beyond Walter Benitez with an improvised flick. KuPS thought they had put the game beyond doubt in the 68th minute"
"Palace were given a lifeline when Antwi received a straight red card in the 73rd minute for a foul on Will Hughes, with his follow-through catching the midfielder high on his leg. And the Eagles made the man advantage count almost immediately when Justin Devenny nodded Tyrick Mitchell's cross past Johannes Kreidl at the back post. Devenny and Nketiah both saw glorious chances in second-half stoppage time repelled by KuPS goalkeeper Kreidl, as the visitors held on to also qualify for the play-offs."
Crystal Palace played out a 2-2 draw with 10-man KuPS at Selhurst Park and finished 10th in the Conference League league phase, taking a play-off spot. Christantus Uche opened inside five minutes with a stunning outside-of-the-foot strike. Piotr Parzyszek struck twice early in the second half, with one effort later ruled out for offside by VAR. Clinton Antwi was sent off for a high follow-through on Will Hughes, and Justin Devenny levelled from a Tyrick Mitchell cross. Johannes Kreidl made late saves to deny Palace and secure KuPS qualification.
