Crystal Palace looked to have taken control when Ismaïla Sarr converted from close range just before halftime, capitalizing on Daniel Muñoz's blocked effort and a clever assist from Jørgen Strand Larsen. However, Zrinjski showed their resilience in the second half, with Karlo Abramovic producing a clinical finish on the counterattack to level the tie at 1-1. The home side's equalizer came after they weathered Palace's early second-half pressure and caught them on the break. This result leaves both teams with work to do in the return leg, with Palace failing to capitalize on their away goal advantage in European competition.
