Ola John's splendid lob eight minutes into the second half earned FC Twente a vital 1-0 away victory over Steaua Bucureşti in the Romanian capital.
Neither side looked capable of possessing sufficient cutting edge in areas of danger and, with incision so eminently in short supply, it required either error or inspiration to break the deadlock.
John's goal had both bundled into one, collecting a loose defensive pass and confidently lobbing the goalkeeper from 12 yards.
The strike was the only highlight of an otherwise poor match that had few clear chances at either end.
