  "account": "In the first away Europa League tie of their campaign, Crystal Palace suffered a 3-2 defeat against Olympique Lyonnais in France. The match saw Lyon secure top position in the league phase, having already triumphed over Polish side Lech Poznan. Palace, making their debut in the Europa League's second-tier competition, opened the scoring eight minutes into the game when Corentin Tolisso capitalized on a corner kick.\n\nDespite Lyon's lead at halftime, the Eagles fought back in the second half. Adam Wharton's accurate pass set up Yeremy Pino to equalize in the 50th minute. Palace continued to create opportunities, with Daichi Kamada coming close to scoring just before halftime. However, Lyon regained control and extended their lead, with Pavel Sulc converting a clever backheel flick in the 71st minute.\n\nPalace's determination was evident as Daichi Kamada pulled one back from a close-range shot, making the score 3-2. Nevertheless, it was Lyon who held on to their advantage, securing a vital victory. This marked Pierre Sage's return to Lyon, where he previously managed from November 2023 to January 2025.",
