Fabian Hurzeler could not celebrate his 100th game as Brighton manager with a victory as his side played out an uneventful goalless draw with Czech side Jablonec in the Uefa Conference League.<\/p>\n
Brighton came into the match on a six-game winning run and had scored in their past 10 outings, but produced a laboured performance after Hurzeler made eight changes to the side that beat Crystal Palace 5-0 on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The Seagulls struggled to create chances and lacked a clinical edge in the final third, despite dominating both halves.<\/p>\n
Georginio Rutter scored twice in the 4-0 win against Lithuanian side Kauno Zalgiris last week, but was guilty of missing two good chances just before half-time.<\/p>\n
Malick Yalcouye thought he had put Brighton in front five minutes into the second half, but he mistimed his run and was caught offside.<\/p>\n
Brighton lost a bit of composure after Hurzeler made four substitutions with 25 minutes remaining, which invited the hosts to push for a winner.<\/p>\n
Antonin Rusek should have put the hosts in front after pouncing on a misjudged header from Costinha, before Bart Verbruggen produced a fine save to deny a curling strike from Jiri Slama.<\/p>\n
Verbruggen had to beat away a stinging drive from Vakhtang Tchanturishvili at the end of a Jablonec counter-attack, preserving a fifth consecutive clean sheet of the season for his side.<\/p>\n
Brighton’s next European assignment is against Getafe in Madrid on Thursday, 5 November (20:00 GMT).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fabian Hurzeler could not celebrate his 100th game as Brighton manager with a victory as his side played…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":891185,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[403,99],"class_list":["post-891184","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/891184","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=891184"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/891184\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/891185"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=891184"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=891184"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=891184"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
