Dnipro-1 started the third round of the Europa League qualifiers with a defeat. Oleksandr Kucher's men lost 0-3 to Slavia at the Fortuna Arena in Prague.

The meeting was held with the Czech champion having a total advantage, scoring two goals before the break thanks to Ivan Schrantz.

In the second half, Nigerian defender Igo Ogbu was sent off for a kick to the neck in the opening minutes, but this did not affect the quality of the game.

Dnipro-1 practically did not attack, and the rare attacks by the Ukrainians ended on the outskirts of the penalty area. The vice-champion of Ukraine made his first shot on goal only in the 83rd minute of the match.

The return leg will take place on 17 August at 21:00. The loser of the two-match clash will play the winner in the Spartak Trnava - Lech Poznan match.
