Ferencvarosi clinch narrow Europa League win

K. Zachariassen's brace secures victory despite late Plzen reply

Ferencvarosi TC edged out Plzen 2-1 in a closely contested UEFA Europa League clash. K. Zachariassen was the star, opening the scoring just after the break and doubling the lead with a penalty in the 81st minute. Plzen's D. Višinský pulled one back at the 90th minute, but it was too little, too late. Fipster's prediction of a home win was spot on, though the exact scoreline proved a bit more dramatic than expected.
