In the first match of the Europa League league phase, Slavia won 2-0 against 13-time Bulgarian champion Ludogorets Razgrad and recorded their first three points in the table. Matěj Jurásek scored the winning shot eight minutes before the end of the first half and Mojmír Chytil secured the win after the break. The next opponent will be AFC Ajax on Thursday 3rd October in Eden.
The coaching staff put Conrad Wallem, starting for the first time since April 21, and Matej Jurasek in the starting lineup, with David Zima replacing the injured Igoh Ogbu.
The home side were the first to threaten at Ludogorets Arena, Vidals shot did not t go in and Antonin Kinsky did not t have to intervene. He also stayed calm against Ricks header, which outpaced Jan Boril and went wide of his left post. Neither Rick nor Malick Dioufs header could keep the goalkeeper busy in quick succession at the end of the 20th minute. The Senegalese international also fired at the end of the first half hour, but his attempt was knocked away for a corner by the defenders.
In the 37th minute, Slavia took the lead, after a pass from Tomas Chory, Matej Jurasek uncompromisingly shot past goalkeeper Padt from an angle around his head - 0:1. The Razgrad goalkeeper managed to tame Wallems shot a few tens of seconds later. Sons equaliser was preceded by an offensive foul on Oscar, the goal was disallowed and Slavia went into the booths with a one-goal lead.
The second half started with a goal by Jan Bo?il, but due to an offside it was not valid. In the 60th minute, Jindrich Trpisovsky pulled Jurasek and Chory from the game and replaced them with Ondrej Lingr and Mojmir Chytil. Padt still managed to solve Dioufs huge chance, but he scored from the subsequent corner kick. Mojmir Chytil slammed into Provods centre with his left - 0:2. Ondrej Lingr, facing the Ludogorets goalkeeper, failed, hitting only his legs.
Lingr failed in his second chance, Diouf gave the place to Ondrej Zmrzly. Chochev tried his luck from distance, Kinsky flew through the air, he did not have to make the save at his right post. Ten minutes from the end, Simion Michez came on for his first career European game, replacing Zafeiris, and Filip Prebsl replaced Provod.
The match offered nothing more, Slavia delighted their large group of supporters, who had travelled a long way to Razgrad, with a 2-0 win.
The next Europa League match will be played in Eden against Ajax on Thursday, 3 October at 18:45.
