Sabah FK secured a milestone victory in the UEFA Champions League after defeating Slavia Prague 2‑0 in Baku, marking the Azerbaijani club’s first win in the competition’s history. The triumph came in the group stage, where the home side’s performance was enough to lift them above the Czech side on the scoreboard.
The match, played at Sabah’s home ground, saw the Azerbaijani side dominate possession and create several clear chances. Two well‑executed goals gave the visitors the lead and the win, with the first coming in the first half and the second sealing the result in the second. The victory not only gave Sabah three points but also a historic moment for the club, as it remains the only Azerbaijani team to have recorded a Champions League win to date.
Slavia Prague, who had been hoping to secure a positive result in their opening group match, were unable to overturn the deficit. The Czech side’s efforts were limited by Sabah’s disciplined defense and efficient attack, which proved too strong for the visitors.
With the win, Sabah FK now sits comfortably in the group, while Slavia Prague must regroup for their remaining fixtures to avoid finishing at the bottom of their group. The victory will likely boost Sabah’s confidence as they continue to compete in Europe, and it underscores the growing competitiveness of clubs from smaller footballing nations in the Champions League.
