Leicester City walked away with a goalless draw in the first leg of their Europa League last-32 tie against Slavia Prague.
The Foxes endured a frustrating night away from home, failing to create many clear cut chances.
Marc Albrighton fired wide within seconds of the kick-off before Harvey Barnes missed a one-on-one opportunity.
Despite failing to score, Brendan Rodgers can take solace from an away clean sheet ahead of the return leg in Leicester next Thursday.
And the Northern Irishman was delighted with his side's defensive solidity, whilst also criticising the officiating.
"I was really pleased from a defensive perspective," Rodgers said. "We kept them reasonably quiet. They had one opportunity at the back post in the first half but our goalkeeper and back four were strong. The pitch was heavy and it was a little bit of man-marking. I was delighted with the spirit and we were solid away from home. Hopefully it will be the case next week [we score goals at home].
"Jamie Vardy isn't always involved a great deal. He's a special player that relies on our midfield and wide players to get on the ball as he plays on the last line. He just needs those chances and that's why he's such a great striker. He got a good hour in his legs and will be fresh for the weekend.
"I thought the officials were very poor, I have to say. I don't comment on them much as it's a very difficult job but some of the decisions... It was clear it wasn't [an elbow from Kelechi Iheanacho for the yellow card] They were challenging for the ball. Overall, I didn't think it was a good night for them to be honest.
"When you come away it's important you defend well. You have to stay strong and be aggressive. We kept a clean sheet and we will look to the second leg. Now we have had a feel for them we can go away and look at where we can get through to the next round."
