UEFA Europa League, League Stage 4Crystal PalaceCRY 1 1 Full Time 1899 HoffenheimHOF Venue Selhurst Park Referee Horatiu FesnicDaichi Kamada 90+1 Alexander Prass 7Crystal Palace battled back to earn a 1-1 draw against Hoffenheim at Selhurst Park despite being reduced to 10 men in their Europa League clash.Alexander Prass gave the German visitors an early lead, capitalising on a lapse at the back to put Pierre Sages side under pressure.Palace were also dealt a blow when Adam Wharton was sent off, but the hosts fought back to claim a point and avoid a second defeat in four European matches this season.Hoffenheim struck after just seven minutes with their first meaningful attack.Andrej Kramaric released Tim Lemperle down the right, and the forward delivered a perfectly weighted pass into Prasss path.The Austrian fired a left-footed effort towards goal, which slipped through goalkeeper Dean Henderson and trickled over the line.Palace had earlier seen Daichi Kamadas effort ruled out for offside, and the hosts attempted to respond quickly to falling behind.Jean-Philippe Mateta headed narrowly wide, although the move was again halted by an offside decision.
