Crystal Palace reached the Conference League final after a 2-1 win over Shakhtar Donetsk at Selhurst Park gave them a 5-2 aggregate victory, earning the Premier League side a place in the decider in their first season in Europe.
Palace, who began the season by winning the Community Shield, will end their campaign with a final against Rayo Vallecano on 27 May in Leipzig after the Spanish side beat Strasbourg 2-0 on aggregate.
The hosts, bolstered by a 3-1 win in last week's away leg in Poland, had the ball in the net in the 10th minute, but Yeremy Pino's goal was ruled out for offside.
Palace went ahead in the 25th minute when Adam Wharton's shot was parried away by Shakhtar keeper Dmytro Riznyk and Daniel Munoz follow-up from the rebound took a deflection off defender Pedro Henrique.
Shakhtar kept themselves in the tie with an equaliser nine minutes later through Eguinaldo who collected a pass just inside the area, took a touch to control before coolly steering the ball into the top corner.
Ismaila Sarr netted his ninth of the competition, making him this season's Conference League top scorer, to put Palace back in front and restore their three-goal aggregate advantage seven minutes after the break.
Oliver Glasner's side were happy to sit back and soak up the Shakhtar pressure to comfortably see out the game and the Palace fans were celebrating long before the final whistle and can now dream of adding to their silverware in what will be the manager's final game in charge.
Palace had originally qualified for the Europa League after winning the FA Cup last season, the club's first major trophy, but were dropped to the Conference League in a multi-club ownership case involving French side Olympique Lyonnais.
