Shortly afterwards, Viktoria also showed their quality. Amar Memić sent a sharp cross to Matěj Vydra, who tried to control the ball and shoot. However, his shot was blocked by one of the defenders.

In the twenty-first minute, Václav Jemelka made a fantastic defensive save. The Plzeň defender cleared the home team's shot from the goal line. At the end of the first half, the home team was awarded a penalty kick. Dessers took charge of it and sent goalkeeper Wiegele to the other side. Viktoria went into the break two goals down.

Four minutes into the second half, Diomande tried his luck with a shot. His effort rebounded off the crossbar of Wiegele's goal. Two minutes later, it was three goals. Gassama found himself unmarked and headed the ball into the net.

Rangers then protected their lead. In the 83rd minute, Amar Memić tried a long-range shot. However, his shot was aimed straight down the middle and goalkeeper Butland punched the ball over the bar. Viktoria leaves Scotland with a 0-3 defeat.
