Moses Usor provided the assist for LASK’s opening goal as the Austrian champions swept Slovan Bratislava aside 4–0 in their Champions League clash in Linz on Tuesday, Bold sports reports.
The Nigerian forward’s corner picked out Kasper Jørgensen, who headed home in the 19th minute to launch a comfortable victory for the hosts.
Jørgensen scored again before Robert Ljubičić and Samuel Adeniran completed the scoring, giving LASK a second successive league-phase win.
Usor started alongside Adeniran in attack and threatened before the breakthrough, forcing goalkeeper Aleksandar Popović into a save with a low, angled effort.

He then delivered the corner from which Jørgensen rose to put LASK ahead.
The Nigerian continued looking for a goal of his own, sending an effort narrowly wide from around the edge of the penalty area in the 34th minute.
Jørgensen extended the lead with a free-kick three minutes later, while Ljubičić struck from close range in the 44th minute after Slovan failed to clear a corner.
That gave LASK a commanding 3–0 advantage at the interval. Adeniran added the fourth in the 48th minute, finishing under the crossbar after receiving Sascha Horvath’s pass.
Usor had another opportunity in the 62nd minute, but Popović denied him. He was subsequently replaced by Christoph Lang in the 75th minute after experiencing cramp.
The victory took LASK to six points from four matches, building on their 3–2 away success against Sporting in the previous round.
It also continued their recovery from defeats against AEK Athens and Liverpool in their opening two league-phase fixtures.
Slovan, meanwhile, remained without a point after four losses, having scored once and conceded 17 times.
The match was the clubs’ first competitive meeting, and LASK emerged with both three points and a clean sheet.
Usor and his teammates next face Ried away in the Austrian league on November 7.
