Crystal Palace beats Rayo Vallecano 1-0 for Conference League title, club's 1st
European trophy
LEIPZIG, Germany (AP) --- Jean-Philippe Mateta scored the only goal as Crystal
Palace won its first-ever European trophy by beating Rayo Vallecano 1-0 in the
final of the Conference League on Wednesday to give outgoing coach Oliver
Glasner the perfect send-off.
Mateta scored on the rebound in the 51st minute after Rayo goalkeeper Augusto
Batalla parried Adam Wharton's long-range shot.
Palace's win keeps English teams on track for a sweep of the three main
European men's club competitions.
Aston Villa won the Europa League last week and Arsenal will face Paris
Saint-Germain in the Champions League final on Saturday.
