Slovan Bratislava’s goalkeeper had just stopped Moses Usor when the Nigerian forward got another chance to shape the match. This time he stepped up to a corner. His cross found Kasper Jörgensen, whose header bounced into the net in the 19th minute. LASK were on their way to a 4–0 Champions League win in Linz on Tuesday, 3 November.
That opening passage explains a distinction in the match figures. Usor tested the goalkeeper from open play, then supplied the last pass for a team-mate to score from the resulting corner. The first action was a shot and the second was an assist. Jörgensen received credit for the goal.
The opening did give Slovan a chance to respond. A poor clearance fell to one of their attackers in the 22nd minute, but his effort went wide. At the other end Usor narrowly missed again before Jörgensen took a free kick in the 37th minute. He drove it low into the corner for his second goal.
Another corner produced LASK’s third. Robert Ljubicic finished in the 44th minute, leaving the visitors three down at the interval. All three first-half goals had come from restarts. Two different players had scored them, with Jörgensen responsible for the first two in quite different ways.
Samuel Adeniran added the fourth from a tight angle three minutes after the break. The hosts kept making chances even after that goal. Usor had another opportunity in the 62nd minute but did not convert it. Christoph Lang replaced him in the 75th minute. The club counted 17,246 spectators at the match.
For Nigerian supporters checking how Usor influenced the result, the first goal is the sequence to look for in the highlights. His delivery changed a goalless game. His later effort shows why the final scoreline on its own tells only part of the story of his evening.
