Elfsborg's Daniel Mobaek scored the only goal in the 65th minute to hand Debreceni a tough job when the two teams re-clash in the return game in Sweden next week.

Egyptian defender Azmi did not take part in the game as he has only recently arrived at the Hungarian side which clinched the domestic treble last season.

The former PAOK Saloniki stopper joined Debreceni in a one-year loan deal from Saudi outfit Al-Shabab.
