Brighton held to 0-0 draw by Jablonec as Hurzeler admits basics were 'not good enough' on 100th game

Brighton's six-game winning run ended with a drab 0-0 draw against Jablonec in the Conference League, and Fabian Hurzeler admitted his heavily rotated side 'did not play on our highest level'. Georginio Rutter missed two first-half chances, Malick Yalcouye had a goal ruled out for offside, and Bart Verbruggen preserved a fifth straight clean sheet with late saves as Brighton racked up 26 shots without scoring.

Rangers claimed a narrow 1-0 first-leg win over Czech side Jablonec in the Conference League playoffs, while Brighton were held to a goalless draw by Tromsø in Norway. Hearts, Hibernian, Motherwell, Larne and Shamrock Rovers also played out mixed results across the Conference League first legs, and Mohamed Salah made his Trabzonspor home debut in a 1-0 Europa League loss to Ferencvaros.
