Dons drubbing completed by Czechs
Already 5-1 up from the first leg of the third qualifying round tie, the Czech side showed no mercy as they romped to victory at the Andruv Stadium.[LNB]All the goals came before half-time, with Tomas Janotka, a Marek Kascak penalty and Michal Hubnik - his second of the tie - all finding the net.[LNB]It could have been worse but for outstanding Dons goalkeeper Jamie Langfield, who also saved from the spot.[LNB]Otherwise, it was another inept defensive performance, compounding the misery of the travelling supporters following reports of skirmishes involving rival fans in Olomouc.[LNB]New Aberdeen boss Mark McGhee gave all but one of the team who started the first leg a chance to redeem themselves.[LNB]The only change saw striker Chris Maguire come in for Derek Young, which meant Darren Mackie dropping back into midfield.[LNB]Despite their mammoth lead, Sigma also made one alteration, Kascak replacing Rudolf Otepka at the back.[LNB]Any thoughts the visitors had of salvaging some pride were ended inside a quarter of an hour as their opponents picked up where they left off at Pittodrie.[LNB]It took less than six minutes for Janotka to fire Sigma ahead from the rebound after Tomas Horava's effort had hit the post.[LNB]It was 2-0 eight minutes later after Mark Kerr brought down the goalscorer inside the penalty box and Kascak sent Langfield the wrong way from the spot.[LNB]In between the goals, Maguire twice went close, seeing his first effort parried by Petr Drobisz and his second drift wide.[LNB]Sigma showed no sign of easing up, with both Ladislav Onofrej and Horava letting fly from range but too close to Langfield.[LNB]Sone Aluko followed suit at the other end midway through the half before Lee Miller nodded a Charlie Mulgrew corner over the bar.[LNB]With half-time approaching, Langfield held onto a Hubnik header and a shot from Horava.[LNB]But he was beaten for the eighth time in the tie in stoppage-time as Hubnik escaped the attentions of Mulgrew and slotted the ball home.[LNB]The pummelling looked set to continue three minutes into the second half after Langfield felled Jakub Petr in the area.[LNB]But the goalkeeper - named in the Scotland squad this week - made amends with a fine save from Michal Ordos, who had come on for the excellent Horava during the interval.[LNB]Langfield picked up a yellow card for the foul but was at his best again to beat away another Ordos effort.[LNB]The keeper also grasped a long-range shot from Petr, who was withdrawn for Pavel Sultes shortly before the hour mark.[LNB]The substitute almost immediately forced another outstanding stop from Langfield and Aluko blazed over from distance at the other end.[LNB]Sigma's final change saw Otepka replace Hubnik, while Sultes twice went close to a fourth goal on the night before Richard Foster was booked for fouling the forward.[LNB]With time running out, Daniel Rossi, Janotka and Sultes were all off target.[LNB]Aberdeen brought on Mitchell Megginson for Maguire, while Otepka and Sultes both tested Langfield again before the final whistle put the visitors out of their misery.[LNB][LNB]
