CONTEXT

The match is finished, with Crystal Palace defeating Fiorentina 3-0 in the first leg of their two-legged knockout tie. Crystal Palace led 2-0 at half-time and maintained control after the break to secure the clean-sheet win, establishing a strong aggregate advantage.

No red cards were issued, allowing both teams to complete the contest with full squads and without disruptive disciplinary events.
