“Vakhtang Chanturishvili broke the deadlock with a goal that proved to be the decisive moment of the tie. The move stemmed from a corner won four minutes earlier, and after Jablonec's double substitution in the 64th minute had changed the dynamic of their attack, Chanturishvili finished to make it 1-0 on the night and level the aggregate at 1-1.”
Pivotal“Lawrence Shankland was shown a yellow card for arguing with the referee deep into extra time, a moment that illustrated Rangers' mounting frustration as they searched desperately for an away goal that never came. The booking summed up a difficult night for the Ibrox side.”

Outstanding performance
Jablonec•MidfielderJablonec advanced to the next round of the Europa Conference League despite requiring extra time and penalties to do so, winning 4-3 in the shootout after Vakhtang Chanturishvili's 73rd-minute strike cancelled out Rangers' aggregate lead. The Czech side were the more composed outfit throughout, finishing with 16 shots to Rangers' nine and dominating possession at 54 percent, yet the game was tight enough that a single moment of quality proved the difference in normal time. Chanturishvili's goal, arriving shortly after a double substitution reshuffled Jablonec's attacking shape, came from a corner routine that exposed Rangers' vulnerability at set pieces — a recurring theme across the two legs. Rangers, reduced to one shot on target across 120 minutes, struggled to impose themselves going forward and were ultimately punished for their wastefulness in the shootout, where Jan Chramosta converted the decisive kick to seal a memorable Jablonec progression. For Rangers, elimination at this early European stage will sting, particularly given they arrived on the back of strong domestic form, while Jablonec can look forward to further European football having shown real resilience across the tie.
