The goalless draw in the second leg meant that Jean-Philippe Mateta's solitary goal in the first leg was the difference between the two sides over 180 minutes of football.

The result means that Palace will host football in a major European club competition at Selhurst Park for the first time in its history. 

In a game of few chances, the Eagles took control, dominating possession, but were limited to half-chances. Mateta and Jefferson Lerma both saw efforts comfortably saved by Martin Borsheim in the Fredrikstad goal during the first half. 

After the restart, both sides probed, but a lack of quality in the final third ensured that Oliver Glasner's side would progress through to the league stage of the competition with Fredrikstad posing little trouble. 

Despite a flurry of stoppage-time attempts from Fredrikstad, its profligacy haunted it, having gone 290 minutes across all competitions prior to Friday tie without a goal.
