Palace faced Dynamo Kyiv in Lubin and played like seasoned European campaigners rather than rookies. Daniel Munoz rose highest to plant a header into the net midway through the first half, settling any nerves among the travelling fans. If that wasn’t enough, Eddie Nketiah struck again just before the hour mark to double the advantage. The Ukrainian side never looked capable of clawing their way back, even when Palace were reduced to ten men following Borna Sosa’s dismissal for two yellow cards.
Thursday’s victory didn’t just put Palace on the map in Europe. It etched Glasner’s name into the club’s history books. The Eagles are now unbeaten in 19 matches across all competitions, surpassing the legendary run of 18 matches that dated all the way back to 1969, when Palace surged into the old First Division. During this blistering sequence, Palace have already lifted both the FA Cup and the Community Shield, turning what was once considered a modest club into one of the most talked-about sides in English football.
Despite the record-breaking achievement, Glasner wasn’t about to get carried away. Asked about the milestone, he brushed it off with a smile, insisting the focus remains on the next challenge. And then came the line that had everyone laughing. With a wink, Glasner revealed: “Especially in Frankfurt where I got a lot of love, my wife was really jealous sometimes. She is now again but we’ve been together 30 years. She knows she can trust me.”
Palace are second in the Premier League standings, but perhaps more notably, they are now the only team still unbeaten in the English top flight this season. Glasner and his men are already preparing for their next domestic test: a tricky away trip to Everton on Sunday.
