Kamada's stoppage-time goal salvages 1-1 draw for Palace against Hoffenheim

Crystal Palace drew 1-1 with Hoffenheim in a Europa League match at Selhurst Park. For a team sitting in the relegation zone after three consecutive Premier League defeats, the game carried great importance. Hoffenheim went ahead in the 7th minute through Alexander Prass's goal. The shot went under Dean Henderson and into the net.

Palace's weaknesses at the back were exposed once again. Henderson denied Andrej Kramaric's close-range effort in the 24th minute with a superb save. The home side struggled to create danger going forward. In the 67th minute, Yeremy Pino's one-on-one chance was dealt with by Oliver Baumann, who controlled the ball. Wharton was shown a second yellow card and sent off in the 77th minute for striking Wouter Burger with his arm in the air, leaving Palace with 10 men.

Palace found a goal near the end of the match. Tyrick Mitchell headed down Pino's cross, and Kamada sent the ball between the goalkeeper's legs and into the net. The goal brought relief at Selhurst Park. For Sage, the result bought time during a period of ongoing criticism. However, there is still a lot to fix at the back. Palace's next match is against Liverpool on Sunday, and it will be broadcast live on Sky Sports.
