Draws first start against Pafos Zhegrova created two scoring chances and registered two shots (zero on goal), four crosses (two accurate) and four corners in Wednesday's 2-0 win versus Pafos.

Impact Zhegrova got the nod for the first time this season and, while he put up stats across the board on offense, he didn't have much burst and was yanked at the interval, as he's not ready for major minutes yet. He'll likely rotate with Francisco Conceicao going forward. He has taken one or more shots in his last four displays, amassing seven (three on target) and logging three key passes, 11 crosses (three accurate) and seven corners over that span.
