A late strike by substitute Generelo was enough to give Zaragoza a 1-0 victory over Sigma Olomouc in their 100th game in Europe. Víctor Muñoz put out a strong side, but they were unable to break through against a packed defence which had come to the Romareda stadium with the intention of not letting in goal. The best chances in the first half fell to Drulic, the first a long shot which Vaniak turned away for a corner, and the second after Soriano headed on a corner, his shot sailing over the bar. The Czech side only troubled Luis García once or twice on the counter-attack, but they seemed to be holding on until Generelo took a return pass from David Villa and fired a low shot past the keeper. A good result in the end, and the clean sheet gives them an edge for the second leg in a fortnight's time.
