OLOMOUC, Czechia (Interstat) — A stoppage-time equalizer from substitute Stratos Svarnas gave RKS Rakow Czestochowa a 1-1 draw with Sigma Olomouc in UEFA Europa Conference League play Thursday at Andrův stadion. The result defied pregame projections that heavily favored the hosts.

Sigma Olomouc’s Jan Král opened the scoring in the 83rd minute, but Svarnas leveled for the Polish side just seven minutes later in the 90th. The match was a physical affair, producing seven yellow cards. Both teams remain unbeaten with a draw in their group stage opener.
