Jablonec defeated Rangers 1-0 in the Liga Conferência, with V. Chanturishvili scoring the only goal of a tight contest at Stadion Strelnice. The home side had more of the ball and more shots in this Jablonec vs Rangers meeting, and a second-half strike was enough after Rangers had won the previous fixture 1-0 on 20 August.
Match Summary
Both teams started in a 4-2-3-1. The first half produced no goals. M. Cedidla was shown a yellow card in the 17th minute, the only caution referee N. Minakovic issued all evening. Jablonec spent longer in possession, yet the interval arrived with the score still blank. Rangers had taken the 20 August meeting 1-0 when they were at home.

The second half opened the same way the first had closed, still without a goal. Jablonec kept more of the ball and continued to win corners. The breakthrough arrived in the 73rd minute, when V. Chanturishvili scored. It was the only time either side found the net. Rangers then had to chase the game. They did not equalize, and Jablonec held the 1-0 lead through to the final whistle.
