First-team

8 May 2026

Crystal Palace reached the UEFA Conference League Final with a 2-1 win on Thursday – and a 5-2 victory on aggregate – over Shakhtar Donetsk, on an epic night in South London – and you chose Daichi Kamada as your star Player of the Match!

Palace created club history after Pedro Henrique's own goal and a second-half strike from Ismaïla Sarr earned a 2-1 semi-final second leg win.

And with Kamada having already won the award for the away leg last week, you named the Japan international as your star performer for the contest at Selhurst Park as well, awarding him 30.9% of your votes!

The midfielder was once again in sensational form in the centre of the park.

Kamada won nine duels, recovered possesion on nine occasions, completed three of his three attempted dribbles – including holding off two challenges in the build-up to Sarr's second-half settler – and was accurate in 81% of his passes.

A popular poll saw plenty of other names score highly: Tyrick Mitchell, who assisted Sarr's effort, won 21.4%; and Adam Wharton, also impressive in midfield, won 19.6%.

But it was Kamada who caught your eye most again - another Player of the Match-winning display!
