The VAR had free time in Prague

Totally incomprehensible how Karim Bellarabi can be shown red for the scene in the 22nd minute. The referee came from Scotland and in the home league the situation would probably not even have drawn yellow. Since the VAR is not used in the group phase of the EuropaLeague, the red card was irrefutable. The referee would have been better off consulting the television pictures, even though I know that is not possible. But of course such a scene can and did make the game tip over.

I am sure that our "B team" would have won the game in Prague if it had gone on with eleven players. And so it came about as it had to, conceding a goal ten minutes before the end and leaving the chances for a possible equaliser. Nevertheless, the Werkself should have taken more with them, so it was a disappointing evening.
