Try as they might, Palace could not find the second goal – and in the closing seconds were almost made to pay for it when Henrik Skogvold burst clear down the left for the visitors. Thankfully, with just Dean Henderson to beat, his strike across goal was scuffed – and bobbled wide of the far post.
To Norway we go, then, with a one-goal advantage – a first-leg victory on a historic night in SE25.
