Plzeň entered the match actively and quickly took the lead. The home side then tried to respond, but their attacks did not lead to an equalizer. Lilleström was also kept in the game by goalkeeper Dahlberg, who prevented further Plzeň goals with several saves. lidovky.cz ↗

The West Bohemian team had lost three times before this match in the Europa League and remained without a point. The win in Norway therefore represents an important improvement in its standing in the competition's group stage. Plzeň also managed to keep a clean sheet, even though the score margin could have been more significant according to post-match assessments. sport.cz ↗

Coach Radoslav Kováč praised the team's gradual improvement after the match and Prince Adu's performance. "I feel progress. We no longer concede from every stupid mistake," said Kováč. Midfielder Lukáš Červ, after the victory, recalled that the team now faces another important match against Sparta. sport.cz ↗

Thanks to the victory, Plzeň has earned its first points in the Europa League. The team will want to build on this win in the domestic league and in further matches of the European competition.
