Paide 1-0 Zira result, stats and report

SK Rapid controlled this Conference League qualifying second leg from start to finish, converting a VAR-assisted opener and a late penalty to record a 2-0 win and complete the job against an Estonian side that mustered just two shots all evening.

SK Rapid dismantled Paide with a performance of overwhelming territorial control and late clinical finishing, a 4-1 Conference League victory that was more comfortable than even the scoreline suggests. The numbers behind this result demand attention.

Paide secured a 1-0 victory over Zira in the UEFA Europa Conference League qualifying phase, winning with an 87th-minute goal despite Zira controlling possession and generating more attacking threat throughout the match.

A first-leg Conference League qualifier that ended all square, but beneath the surface there was a fascinating study in contrasting approaches, a penalty equaliser struck with conviction, and a second half that left both sides with genuine cause for reflection.

Paide controlled the structural contest from the first whistle and converted their superiority into a convincing 3-0 home win, while Hegelmann's inability to turn 6 shots on target into a single goal tells the real story of a heavy Conference League qualifying defeat.
