Palace Take Narrow Lead Over KuPS in Conference League Clash

Selhurst Park, London – Crystal Palace holds a 1-0 lead over Finnish side KuPS at halftime in their crucial Conference League group stage match. Christantus Uche put the Eagles ahead with a well-taken goal from the edge of the area, placing the team temporarily in an automatic qualification spot.
