Crystal Palace earned a solid 2-0 home win over Bosnian champions HSK Zrinjski Mostar in the UEFA Europa Conference League on February 27, 2026. The Premier League side managed a clean sheet and a two-goal cushion to take to Bosnia for the second leg of their knockout tie. Playing at Selhurst Park, Palace controlled much of the tempo and broke down a disciplined Zrinjski defense on two occasions, likely through a combination of pace and precision. The visitors from Mostar offered a threat on the counter but were unable to find a crucial away goal, which will make their task in the return leg extremely difficult. This match result puts Crystal Palace in a commanding position to advance to the next round of European competition.
