Premier League 2 features 31 Category One academies competing across 20 regular-season matches, with the top 16 progressing to the elimination play-offs.
Nascimento inspired the Young Eagles to a 4-1 comeback victory over Leeds United at Thorp Arch, scoring a superb hat-trick as they returned from the September-October international break.
The forward brought Palace level after capitalising on a misplaced pass from Leeds defender Alfie Cresswell, before confidently converting a penalty won by Joe Gibbard to put the visitors ahead.
He completed his treble five minutes into the second half, firing home first time from the edge of the box after a neat exchange between Nat Kalembo and Seb Williams.
Nascimento has made an impressive start to the campaign, finding the net against Aston Villa and earning a Goal of the Month nomination for his spectacular free-kick against Paris Saint-Germain in September.
He also featured against Southampton in Palace’s other Premier League 2 fixture in October, taking his season tally to five goals and two assists in nine appearances.
The Young Eagles return to Premier League 2 action against Everton on Sunday, 8th November (KO: 12:00) – a game you can watch LIVE on Palace TV+!
They will be hoping to build on Tuesday’s 2-1 victory over Newport County, which saw the Young Eagles make Academy history by reaching the EFL Trophy knockout stages for the first time.
