Evanilson (43 mins)
Great header!
Adam Smith loops a first-time cross into the box and onto the head of Evanilson.
He's stood still about 14 yards out and directs a superb looping header out of the reach of the keeper and into a far corner.
That is some finish.

Great defending!
It looks like Sturm Graz are going to have a strike on goal but Tyler Adams does superbly to intercept with an outstretched leg.
Belmin Beganovic then goes down in the area and wants a penalty but the referee opts to book him for a dive instead. That seems harsh. Not saying it was a penalty but a dive? Nah.
Brighton 0-0 Kauno Zalgiris
Brighton winger Ibrahim Osman hooks a shot over the bar from around the edge of the box.

Pascal Gross is hacked down just outside the box. The referee plays advantage and Costinha's shot is blocked. Bet Gross would have preferred the free-kick.
Bournemouth 0-0 Sturm Graz
There's a great atmosphere at this one.
The Bournemouth fans are enjoying their first-ever European home game, while the visitors are making plenty of noise too.

Fletch (20:25 BST), those clubs, like City, would then go bust once the owner has enough. Football is forever, not just a few golden seasons.

Brighton 0-0 Kauno Zalgiris
Brilliant save. Brighton's best chance of the game.
Pascal Gross whips in a fine ball from the right which Jack Hinshelwood heads towards goal but into the ground. The bouncing ball is flying towards the top corner only for Tomas Svedkauskas to palm it over.
Bournemouth 0-0 Sturm Graz
Sturm Graz threaten to sneak in behind again and initially get away from Antonio Silva, but Bafode Diakite is able to get across.

20:11 Re: Pascal Gross minutes. He had a holiday in Dortmund, came back in the form of his life and is loving life as a Seagull. Are you going to tell him he’s got the night off?

It's Brighton's first shot from distance in the 30th minute of the game. Those opportunities to shoot from distance are going to be on. We saw Lewis Dunk's goal at Coventry, he certainly can strike them.
Brighton 0-0 Kauno Zalgiris
Brighton fans are urging Lewis Dunk to shoot every time he gets the ball - and he lifts one over the bar from 20 yards.
Bournemouth 0-0 Sturm Graz
Nine shots for Bournemouth now. Still none on target though.

Almost brilliant!
Marcus Tavernier lines up a strike from distance and it clips the outside of the post and goes wide.
The goalkeeper was rooted to the spot.

Walking pace at the moment. Pascal Gross' low ball into the box is hacked away.

It's a good call from the referee.
See how quick that was and how decisive the referee was.

It's important Brighton don't become predictable in what they do.
Brighton 0-0 Kauno Zalgiris
Georginio Rutter tries to barge his way through for Brighton but is stopped at the second or third attempt in the box.
Bournemouth 0-0 Sturm Graz
Bournemouth think they have the lead but it is quickly ruled out for handball in the build-up.
Evanilson flicks the ball on at the near post and it means a bit of a scramble but the ball runs along the arm of Bafode Diakite before he fires into the roof of the net.
Good, quick decision by referee, which VAR agrees with quickly too.

Bournemouth put another ball into the box for Alvaro Rodriguez and it is headed behind by Joshua Quarshie.
Brighton 0-0 Kauno Zalgiris
Chance for Zalgiris. Franco Baldassarra wins the ball off Georginio Rutter just outside the box but hits his shot well wide. Brighton can't afford to switch off.
Lyon finished top of the league phase in the Europa League in 2025-26, but then lost in the last 16
Crystal Palace were beaten by Lyon in France in the Eagles' first ever away match in the Europa League.
The hosts only needed eight minutes to open the scoring, when Corentin Tolisso reacted quickest to bury the loose ball after Palace failed to cope with a corner from the right.
In a quiet first half, Lyon doubled their lead in injury time as Ernest Nuamah finished well from Keito Nakamura's low cross.
Palace had come from behind to gain Premier League wins over Fulham and Nottingham Forest this season and were much improved after the break, finding a way back into the match in the 50th minute.
The visitors worked a short corner, with Adam Wharton's fine first-time pass instantly met by Yeremy Pino before he shot into the roof of the net to make it 2-1.
Palace had chances to make it 2-2 before Lyon restored their two-goal advantage thanks to Pavel Sulc's clever backheel flick into the net.
Daichi Kamada gave Palace hope as he finished from six yards out to make it 3-2, but the hosts held on for the victory.
It was a return to Lyon for Eagles boss Pierre Sage, who had been manager of the Ligue 1 club from November 2023 to January 2025, having previously been a coach.
Palace won the third-tier Conference League last season and this is their first campaign playing in Europe's second-tier competition. After two of their eight league-phase matches, they have three points following the 4-0 win over Polish side Lech Poznan.
Palace were backed by 3,000 fans in Lyon, but, despite an improved performance in the second half, left empty handed.
They nearly snatched a draw in the 90th minute but Chris Richards' header following Wharton's corner was well saved by home goalkeeper Dominik Greif.
This match was one of the standout ties for the Eagles supporters when the draw was made.
After the club won the FA Cup for the first time in 2025, that achievement should have earned Palace a place in the 2025-26 Europa League.
However, the Eagles were demoted to the third-tier Conference League because then co-owner John Textor was also the majority owner of Lyon.
The American sold his share in Palace and left his leadership role with Lyon that summer. But European football's governing body Uefa said Lyon, as they had finished higher in their domestic league, would stay in the Europa League, with Palace dropping down.
Palace then won the Conference League to earn their spot back in the Europa League for 2026-27.
Sage's side were left rueing a slow start as they offered little as an attacking force in the opening half, with the hosts looking comfortable at 2-0.
Palace were the better side after the break and following their goal had chances to earn a point, but Jorgen Strand Larsen headed over and substitute Kamada had a shot saved.
Lyon's third goal then came against the run of play and although Kamada scored soon after, it was not enough.
The Eagles play at rivals Brighton on Sunday before returning to Europa League action when they travel to Turkey to face Besiktas next Thursday.
