## Summary

Daichi Kamada scored in added time to earn Crystal Palace a 1-1 Europa League draw with Hoffenheim, rescuing a point after a difficult performance. Palace had been outplayed for much of the match, and Adam Wharton’s dismissal with 13 minutes remaining left them facing defeat.

Hoffenheim took the lead in the seventh minute when Alexander Prass finished after Tim Lemperle’s cross, following a Palace error in possession. Palace created chances, including a late opportunity for Yéremy Pino, but Hoffenheim goalkeeper Oliver Baumann kept them out until Kamada scored from a goalmouth scramble. The draw came despite Palace playing the closing stages with 10 men.
