The full-back dismissed for a pair of cautions in rapid succession
The London outfit opened their Conference League journey with a convincing victory against Dynamo Kyiv in Poland.
The defender's aerial finish from Yeremy Pino's delivery from the flank set the tone to success in their first ever game in the main phase of a European competition.
Substitute Eddie Nketiah increased Palace's lead shortly prior to the sixtieth minute with a clinical close-range finish after a superb bit of skill and incisive delivery from the Spanish international on the left wing.
That sent around several thousand away fans into jubilation and not even the dismissal of defender the Croatian international - for two yellow cards recklessly accumulated in a brief spell - in the final quarter could dampen their celebrations.
By full-time they were not only marking a landmark maiden victory on the road in Europe, but breaking a team milestone from 1969, as they extended their unbeaten run to 19 matches across all competitions.
It was no more than Oliver Glasner's side deserved against opponents who, in recent times, have struggled to match their rich European pedigree of previous decades.
The striker might have had a brace had he not momentarily stepped offside from the midfielder's pass, just moments before his shot that did count. The Japanese playmaker's first-half run deserved better than a weak attempt that resulted in an easy save.
