A delicious pass from James McAtee finds Ryan Yates eight-yards out but the Forest captain takes it on the way up and he can't keep the shot down and it pings off the bar.

A lovely ball though.

Ismaila Sarr has the ball in the back of the net for the second time but it's flagged for offside!

A cheeky backheel from Omari Hutchison gets the ball away from a couple of defenders close to the byline and it eventually comes to Lorenzo Lucca who fires through a packed penalty box but can only find the gloves of Elias Olafsson at the near post.

The press has been good from Nottingham Forest considering they've made so many changes.

Forest have a corner and it's delivered to the back post but actually ends up pinging off the backside of Pedro Bravo. It calls Elias Olafsson into action but a free-kick is given for a bit of shoving in the box.

It’s taken more than 200 minutes of football across three games, but Palace have finally found a way past Larnaca.

The Cypriot side have proved stubborn opposition throughout this Conference League campaign, conceding just once in seven matches before tonight.

But that goal should force the hosts to come out and attack, which could open up space in behind for the likes of Jorgen Strand Larsen and Ismaila Sarr.

A good run down the right-hand side from Dan Ndoye, he drifts into the penalty box but is a bit hesitant over the shot and that gives the hosts time to swarm round him and clear.

Oooh. A nice through ball comes from the middle of the park but Midtjylland forward Junior Brumado can't get it under control before a Forest defender is on hand to clear.

Walter Benítez - standing in for the ill Dean Henderson - is called into action for the first time tonight as he climbs highest to claim a cross.

Easy work for the Argentine.

Midtjylland look good, they look organised. We all know how threating they can be from set-pieces.

Midtjylland win their first corner of the match but it misses everyone.

The referee blows his whistle anyway, he's not happy with a bit of pushing and shoving going on inside the box.

Palace are already moving the ball with more zip than they did in the first leg at Selhurst Park last week.

They will have to keep this tempo up if they are to disrupt Larnaca's five-man defence.

Nikola Milenkovic goes down holding his face after taking a high boot to the face from Dario Osorio.

The free-kick comes to nothing, though.

Crystal Palace continue their strong start as Jorgen Strand Larsen cushions the ball for Ismaila Sarr to fire into the side-netting.

It's the first time Sarr - Palace's top scorer in the competition this season - has been involved.

Oliver Glasner will be impressed with what he has seen from his side in the opening five minutes.

Omari Hutchison holds the ball up well and finds Dilane Bakwa, who goes for goal but sees his effort fly way over the bar.

Tyrick Mitchell wins a first corner of the night for Crystal Palace after a bursting run from deep.

But the set-piece comes to nothing as Jorgen Strand Larsen is adjudged to have fouled one of the Larnaca defenders.

Midtjylland have lost only three of their ten previous matches against English teams (W5 D2), while Forest have won 17 of their 22 previous European two-legged ties.

Good noise inside the MCH Arena, where a giant Tifo was unveiled just before kick-off. The hosts are up for this.
