It was a night to remember for 36 Lion products Yira Collins Sor and Peter Olayinka in the UEFA Europa Conference League on Thursday night.


Peter Olayinka celebrating with team mates after scoring one of Slavia Praha goals in 4-1 demolition of LASK


The duo were impressive for Slavia Praha who dispatched Austrian side LASK 4-1 at Sinobo Stadium.


Sor drew the curtain raiser in the fourth minute of action as the home fans went into frenzy. He got on the end of a pass before side-footing home from a difficult angle.


The dangerous Sor doubled the lead on the half hour mark as Slavia Praha continued to coast.


Husein Balic reduced the deficit seven minutes after the hour as the visitors gave themselves hope.


Olayinka restored the two-goal cushion for Červenobílí before Ibrahima Traore registered his name on the scoresheet as the game ended 4-1.


It will be recalled that Sor has netted four goals in three appearances for the reigning Czech Republic top flight champions at the Conference League. He linked up with the team from Banik Ostrava at the last transfer window.
