Tottenham Spurs achieved a 0-1 win over Slavia Prague in the Uefa cup.
The Egyptian Star Ahmed Hossam Mido played the game from the start and was one of the best players alongside Jermaine Defoe in attack.

The only goal was scored by Jenas in the first half from a right footed shot at the edge of the box.
Slavia lost their keeper Michal Vorel midway through the first half after he injured himself at a goal-kick.




But substitute Matus Kozacik was well beaten when Jermaine Jenas arrowed a shot into the corner of the net.
Having had little to do for the first hour Paul Robinson kept Spurs in front when he made a fine double save as Slavia searched for the equaliser.




Didier Zokora provided plenty of drive from midfield, while Ahmed Hossam Mido caused problems for Slavia when he drifted out to the left wing.
Early on Ahmed Hossam Mido delivered a dangerous cross but Jermaine Defoe was unable to reach the ball.

On 25 minutes Defoe swivelled quickly to create some space only to send his shot over the bar.


With Spurs so dominant in the opening stages Robinson had a quiet time, though he needed to be decisive in punching clear after Dusan Svento's dangerous run and cross.
Slavia had less luck with their goalkeeper Vorel and after his departure Kozacik was quickly into action, palming away Pascal Chimbonda's header.


Jenas' finish was exemplary, but so was the work of Zokora as he made a surging run before playing a precise pass to his midfield colleague in the build-up.

Midway through the second half Robinson was finally called into serious action when he pushed away Svento's free-kick and the Spurs keeper was up quickly to block Stanislav Vlcek's effort from the rebound.
Spurs last played in Europe seven years ago, but after this away win they look now well placed to reach the Uefa Cup group stages.
