Crystal Palace Sets Record With 19-Game Unbeaten Streak
Crystal Palace extended their remarkable unbeaten run to a record-breaking 19 games, thanks to a second-half goal from Eddie Nketiah. The striker, who came on at half-time, scored from Yeremy Pino's cross in the 58th minute against Dynamo Kyiv in Poland. This impressive streak, under the guidance of coach Oliver Glasner, surpasses a 56-year club record and is the longest in the club's history.
The game started with Crystal Palace taking the lead in the 31st minute. Daniel Munoz headed home from Adam Wharton's cross, following a seemingly overhit free-kick. The first half ended with Palace in control, but they faced a setback in the second half. Borna Sosa was sent off for a second yellow card with 14 minutes left, leaving Palace to finish the game with 10 men. However, Eddie Nketiah came to their rescue. He scored from Yeremy Pino's cross in the 58th minute, sealing a win for Crystal Palace and extending their unbeaten run to a new club record of 19 games.
Jean-Philippe Mateta's inclusion in the France national team for their upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Azerbaijan and Iceland is a testament to his form during this unbeaten run. With Oliver Glasner at the helm, Crystal Palace continues to make history, surpassing a 56-year record and remaining unbeaten early in the 2025–26 season.
