Active display in UCL win Kampl had two shots (one on target) and made three tackles (all won) and four clearances during Wednesday's 3-1 Champions League win over Red Star Belgrade.

Impact Kampl had another solid performance in front of the defensive line, with his usual tenacity in the middle of the park being key for his side to stay away from danger most of the time. And the captain was also very important with the ball, helping in the early build-up of plays and going up the field to have a couple of finishes himself.

Nets rare goal Kampl scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Friday's 5-1 victory over VfB Stuttgart.

Impact Kampl got on the scoresheet in sublime fashion in what was a rare finish for the holding midfielder.
