Oliver Glasner believes his Crystal Palace side "have to wake up" to AEK Larnaca's style of play in their Conference League last 16 tie.

The Eagles were held to a goalless draw in the first leg at Selhurst Park, meaning the quarter-final spot will be decided in Cyprus next week.

Palace were the more dominant team on Thursday, producing 2.0 expected goals (xG) from 13 shots while restricting Larnaca from having a single shot on target.

The Eagles held an opponent without a shot on target for the second time in the Conference League this season, the most of any side in the competition.

However, it is the second time in 2025-26 that they have failed to beat Larnaca, who have conceded just once in seven Conference League games this season.

Glasner admitted Palace might have to change their approach for the second leg if they are to progress into the last eight of the competition.

Glasner told TNT Sports: "I think the performance was OK – not top.

"We had enough chances to win the game. We were very well-organised. We knew it was not easy to create chances and score goals.

"We had chances to score at least two, credit to the keeper. We were dominant, but set-plays were not easy with the wind and credit to them.

"It's the first leg and the [tie] will be [decided] in Cyprus.

"We will play the third game against them, and it's time to score. We will maybe change a few things.

"It's clear if they [only] concede one in the group stage, they won't concede three or four against us tonight.

"Maybe we have to wake up to their style a little bit."

Palace came closest to scoring just before half-time when Tyrick Mitchell was kept out by Zlatan Alomerovic.

The Larnaca goalkeeper made four saves in total, while Chris Richards headed over from close range in the second half.

"We understand we are the underdog, so, for us, it was a game to sacrifice, to be low and hope to have some counter-attacks or set-pieces," said Alomerovic.

"Everyone knows defending low with a [back] five makes it very difficult to create chances. That was the plan. We are happy with the result, and we’ll see what happens in Cyprus."
