Hurzeler hopes to fulfil dreams of Brighton fans after Conference League win over Getafe

Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler hopes to fulfil the dreams of their fans by winning the Conference League this season.

The Seagulls took another step towards the knockout rounds with a 1-0 victory over Getafe on Thursday at Estadio Coliseum.

Malick Yalcouye was the matchwinner for Brighton, heading in off the crossbar in the 64th minute to finally break down a stubborn Getafe side.

Brighton produced 1.64 expected goals (xG) to Getafe's 0.26, but Bart Verbruggen was forced into making four saves.

The Seagulls have won seven points from their three league phase games to leave them fifth in the standings, while they are the only team yet to concede in the competition this season.

While Hurzeler has urged his players to stay focused, he encouraged the Brighton fans to continue dreaming.

"They should dream, that's what I always say," Hurzeler told TNT Sports.

"We focus on work. We focus on the things we can control. They should dream and hopefully at one point we can fulfil their dream.

"These games in the Conference League are different. You have to beat a low block. You have to understand what the opponents are looking for in the game. Therefore, you have to always be patient in these games and I think we did it today.

"We didn't play our best game, to be fair. We had a few moments where we were quite lazy with the easy things.

"We didn't do the simple things on the highest level but in the end we kept a clean sheet, third clean sheet in a row in this tournament and we scored a goal and I think we deserved to win this game."

Brighton face Polish side Universitatea Craiova in their next Conference League game after the international break, which will be followed by a huge test against Monaco.
