Here is what the page “Jean-Philippe Mateta Scores First Goal Since Conference League Final as Crystal Palace Dra” contains. Crystal Palace forward Jean-Philippe Mateta found the net for the first time since last season's UEFA Conference League final, but the Eagles were held to a 2-2 draw by a resilient 10-man Besiktas in Istanbul. The French striker's goal was a welcome sight for Palace fans, who have been waiting to see him recapture his scoring touch in European competition. Besiktas, despite going down to ten men, showed character to twice come from behind and salvage a result in front of their home crowd at Vodafone Park.
The Turkish side's fighting spirit denied Palace a valuable away win in what was a lively encounter. For Palace, the result leaves them with work to do in the group, but Mateta's return to the scoresheet offers a timely boost ahead of upcoming fixtures.
