Palazon did well on the right-hand side. He plays back to Ciss, who comically overhits his long punt forward.

Rayo on a nine game unbeaten run coming into this one - could that provide them the edge they need tonight?

Palace are starting with a bit of intent in this half, and Mitchell plays a lovely low ball towards Mateta, which forces Lejeune in a brilliant sliding clearance. Munoz then takes a long throw-in that Lacroix gets his head to, but it goes harmlessly out for a goal-kick.

GOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLL! PALACE HIT THE FRONT! THE EAGLES HAVE FLIGHT! Well, the brilliant Wharton is influential again, but you have to question why he was allowed to just meander through the middle of the park before letting fly from 20 yards. Batalla parries it, but Mateta shifts his feet brilliantly, and it looks like it comes off his calf before nestling into the unguarded goal! Palace lead Rayo 1-0 here in Leipzig!
