West Ham were beaten 2-1 by NK Domzale as Matic Crnic scored twice to give the Slovenian underdogs a narrow advantage after the first leg of the Europa League third qualifying round tie.

Domzale took the lead against the run of play after 11 minutes at Stadion Stozice in Ljubljana on Thursday night when a shot cannoned off the arm of debutant Havard Nordtveit and the referee pointed to the spot.

It was a contentious decision, with the centre-back arguing that he was unable to get out of the way, but the decision had been made and Crnic calmly dispatched the penalty beyond Adrian.

West Ham crashed out of the Europa League at this same stage last season, but there were no signs of nerves after going behind, and it took the Hammers just seven minutes to draw level. A spot of head tennis inside the area resulted in Domzale goalkeeper Axel Maraval clearing out Winston Reid with a punch to the head, prompting the second penalty of the game - and a far less contentious one.


The ever-reliable Mark Noble sent the goalkeeper the wrong way to make it 1-1, but West Ham struggled to create any further clear-cut chances in a rusty first-half performance.


Manager Slaven Bilic, banned from the touchline as he served the second of a two-game suspension, would have been hoping for better from his team after the break.

But it was Domzale who stepped up a level and the hosts secured the win when the excellent Crnic curled a finish into the far corner from the edge of the box after getting in behind the out-of-position Antonio in the 49th minute.



West Ham started the game brightly, with Sofiane Feghouli impressing on the right wing on his competitive debut for the club after a move from Valencia.

But the visitors also posed a constant threat throughout on the counter-attack, with the impressive Crnic revelling in the opportunity to play in front of a bigger crowd following the decision to move the game from Domzale's 3,000-capacity home ground.

Feghouli created most of the best opportunities for the Hammers in the first half with a string of dangerous deliveries from out on the right, but the closest the Premier League club came to scoring a second goal of the night was a snap shot from Pedro Obiang when a clearance fell to him on the edge of the box.

Domzale, in contrast, should have gone in ahead at half-time, missing a great opportunity when Marko Alvir headed wide and threatening again with a curling effort from Crnic that flew narrowly wide of Adrian's far post.

And there were further chances for the hosts after the break, with a stunning Adrian double-save late on denying substitute Amedev Vetrih.

The result leaves West Ham needing a win when they welcome Domzale to east London next Thursday for the first competitive club game at the soon-to-be-renamed Olympic Stadium.

Manager Bilic will return from his touchline ban but will expect more from a group of players who looked off the pace and rusty with two weeks to go before the start of the Premier League season.

【now.com體育】周四歐霸盃外圍賽第3圈首回合，韋斯咸作客以1:2不敵斯洛文尼亞球會當姆薩尼，但仍保持在次回合翻盤的機會。

7月頭已開操的韋斯咸，除一些踢完國際大賽未歸隊的球員缺陣，基本上精銳盡出，安祖卡路爾、麥克盧保（Mark Noble）、高耶迪及雲斯頓列特皆在陣，而兩位新兵菲侯利及洛特維迪，亦首次在正式比賽中獲得正選機會。

開賽10分鐘，洛特維迪禁區內用手擋走對方射門，即被罰12碼，對方中場馬迪施歷一射中鵠，但領先僅7分鐘，輪到當姆薩尼門將犯錯，出迎打手槌撞跌雲斯頓列特，同樣被罰極刑，由隊長麥克盧保建功，扳成1:1。

雙方在上半場均有望再入一球，尤其當姆薩尼的攻勢頗到位，可惜臨門一腳欠準繩，但換邊後4分鐘，首開紀錄的馬迪施歷再做英雄，從左路殺入禁區邊走邊射，阿祖安卡斯迪路雖已落地撲救，但皮球仍急速地在遠柱入網。韋斯咸反撲不果，最終僅以1球差距落敗，仍有望在下周次回合返主場，將比數逆轉。

同日其他歐霸外戰果，德國的哈化柏林主場以1:0小勝邦比，而法甲球隊聖伊天，則主場0:0與AEK雅典悶和收場。
