"Camilo Duran stole the show with his goals and display, but the performance of Kasper Hogh was vital as he was the link from defence to attack and kept both centre-halves busy all night. LASK are a very good team also. Ian: Great team performance, much more pace with the passing, much more attacking intent, great to see.
