Levski Sofia beat Kairat Almaty 1-0 in the third qualifying round of the Champions League, leaving with a win despite being second best for long spells. The visitors kept a clean sheet and made the one goal count.
The scorer and minute are not listed in the match facts, so the goal cannot be credited. The shape of the game is clear from the numbers: Kairat had 20 shots to Levski's nine, six on target to two, and won the corner count 9-4, yet Levski's goalkeeper made six saves.
Kairat also had more possession, 56% to 44%, and more accurate passes, 418 to 342, but none of that produced a goal. The expected goals figure is 0.00 for both sides, underlining that the home side's volume of shooting rarely became clear chances. Levski were outplayed in the shot count but took the result.
