Ferencváros 5 TNS 0

TNS' UEFA Champions League dreams were emphatically put to the sword in Hungary on Tuesday night.

Ferencváros showed their European pedigree to inflict a 5-0 defeat on the Welsh champions in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League second qualifying round tie.

Malian winger, Adama Traoré bagged a hat trick, while Kristoffer Zachariassen and Marquinhos were also on target at the Ferencváros Stadium for the Hungarian champions.

The damage was done early with the home side controlling proceedings and broke the deadlock after 15 minutes Traoré beat Connor Roberts with a well-placed looping header at the back post.

A searching ball over the top of the TNS defence allowed Traoré to double his side’s advantage with a left-footed strike six minutes later.

It was all over on 24 minutes when Kristoffer Zachariassen stroked home from the edge of the six-yard box.

Danny Davies went close to reducing the arrears before Jordan Williams sent a powerful effort onto the woodwork on the stroke of half-time.

Traoré headed past Roberts to complete his hat-trick at the start of the second-half before Marquinhos stepped up and made no mistake from the spot on the hour.

Less than four minutes after coming off the bench, Declan McManus had a great chance to reduce the deficit for the visitors but fluffed his lines as Dénes Dibusz comfortably gathered.

The second leg takes place at Park Hall Stadium next Tuesday with kick-off scheduled for 6.30pm.
