Oliver Glasner’s side beat Bosnian outfit HSK Zrinjski Mostar 2-0 on Thursday, and 3-1 on aggregate, to continue their European journey.
Maxence Lacroix headed Palace in front, before a late settler by January signing Evann Guessand secured the Eagles a spot in the next round, where they will play AEK Larnaca. If they beat the Cypriots, a potential quarter-final against David De Gea’s Fiorentina is on the cards after that, although they have to overcome Poles Rakow Czestochowa first.
Last week’s 1-1 draw in Bosnia meant Glasner could take no chances, preventing him from rotating the team from their previous Premier League fixture.
Walter Benitez had been used in the previous two Conference League outings, however United alumni Dean Henderson started both the first and second leg, making his 100th Palace appearance in the latter.
