FC Midtjylland kicked off their Europa League campaign with a narrow 1-0 win over Legia Warsaw this evening.

Michal Kucharczyk's own goal was enough for the home side who go second in the group after Napoli's 5-0 hammering of Club Brugge.

Nemanja Nikolic should have given Legia the lead before the half-hour mark, but he missed the target from close range.

Duncan then went close for Midtjylland when he connected with Filip Novak's corner, but he could only head over the bar.

Kucharczyk then put through his own net under pressure to give the home side the lead.

Sisto forced a save from Legia keeper Dusan Kuciak before Duncan fired over from a tight angle, but it was the Norwegians who took the points.
