GOAL - Crystal Palace 1-0 Lech Poznanpublished at 20:10 BST 17 September
Yeremy Pino (10 mins)
Crystal Palace get their first ever Europa League goal.
Lech Poznan's Terry Yegbe takes maybe the worst throw-in in the history of football.
He turns and launches it into the path of Yeremy Pino, who has space to run into, beats a man and then tucks a shot in.

So excited for The Cherries. My first game was 1986 losing 2-0 to Gillingham at Dean Court. Now dreamland.

Started well here have the Cherries.
They're dictating what's happening so far and Marco Rose will love that.

Real Sociedad 0-0 Bournemouth
Adrien Truffert does really well in his own box to win the ball and set Bournemouth on their way.
Rayan receives the ball and looks to work a yard of space but his effort is blocked.

Palace on the front foot now. Adam Wharton finds Yeremy Pino, who leaves two away players on the ground with clever footwork before having a shot blocked.

Real Sociedad 0-0 Bournemouth
BBC Radio SolentFormer Bournemouth defender Charlie Daniels: "I can't [believe it]. I don't think any other club can tell this kind of story. There will be fans in here tonight, who put there hard earned money into saving this club with a hope and a prayer of maybe just staying in the division in League Two and seeing where it is now, and the lads lining up about to kick-off a European night. What a special occasion and special journey it has been."

Real Sociedad 0-0 Bournemouth
Some early defending for Bournemouth as Orri Oskarsson is set on his way in the box but James Hill is in a good spot in the box to hook it clear.
The last thing the Cherries will want is to concede early.
