Bayer 04 Kick Off Europa League Campaign With 2-0 Win Against Celje

Carlos Martinez and Bayern Ophir start their new Europa League campaign against Zoran Zeljkovic, the new coach for NK Celja. 12th minute, Bayern Ophir through Martin Therrier, it's a fingertip save. The goalkeeper does really well to push it onto the post. Bayern Ophir come close to scoring first. 15th minute, they do find the back of the net, it's a deflection. Svet Seshla inadvertently deflecting it. Alish Garcia whips it in and there's a wicked deflection. More attacking football, Alish Garcia once more. Wonderful play in the build-up from Patrick Schick, puts his foot on it and then a goalkeeper again sticking out a boot. 30 minutes in, first opportunity to Vrbic, testing Mark Flecken. Number seven cutting inside and then finding his way through to goal. Flecken alert to the danger, however. Towards the end of the first half, Alish Garcia once more, the pass to Martin Therrier. Brilliant football, he deserved another goal. The goalkeeper comes off his line brilliantly. Vrbic, the in-swinger, Mark Flecken claws it away. Seshla with the header as he tries to make his own goal into the second half. Build-up play down the right-hand side and Facundo Medina arriving on the scene. Lehmann makes the save, the goalkeeper called into action early on in the second half. Great run from Medina to arrive on the spot. Alfonso Moreira then testing the goalkeeper, who almost fluffs his lines after making a string of brilliant saves. That one onto the crossbar. Quarter of an hour remaining and Facundo Medina does get a goal. He brilliantly cushions the corner past the goalkeeper and he makes it 2-0. Final fear then, claiming all three points in their first game in the Europa League.
