A 0-0 draw against Fredrikstad in Norway last night proved to be enough for Palace to win their playoff tie 1-0 on aggregate.
Richards expressed his pride in the team's defensive performance, saying, "We've been defending really well. But they are a good team and they threw everything at us."
He also highlighted the significance of securing a result, stating, "Not every game is going to be pretty, but as long as you get a result, that's the big thing."
Richards reflected on the team's progress, mentioning that advancing in the Conference League was a notable achievement, especially after scoring just two goals so far this season.
He expressed his excitement for the fans, saying, "I think I'm more excited for the fans as it's the first time this club has experienced it. We're really happy and ready to make history."
