Slavia beat Steaua Bucharest 2:1 in first round of Champions League

Slavia Prague celebrated a 2:1 win over Steaua Bucharest in their Champions League debut on Wednesday night. They now join London team Arsenal with three points at the top of Group H. Despite their early success in the competition, Slavia are aiming, according to their manager Karel Jarolim, to finish third overall in Group H. This would rule them out of the knockout stages of the competition, but would provide them with the consolation of a UEFA cup slot. Slavia's next Champions League match is away against Spanish team Seville, on 2nd October.
