West Ham United without injured Andre Ayew and star man Dimitri Payet were upset at home by Romanian outfit, Astra Giurgiu to shatter their ambition of advancing to the group phase of the UEFA Europa League.
The Hammers, who needed a scoreless draw, after earning a 1-1 draw in Romania last week, were short of ideas, without their their star men Ayew, Payet and Andy Caroll, as they allowed their less fancied opponents to breach their defence line with and walked away with a 1-0 victory.
The goal that separated the two sides was scored on the stroke of half-time from the boot of Felipe Teixeira.
West Ham, following the half-time break, threw more men upfront in search of a goal. But their effort was in vain, as the Romanians defended gallantly to protect their goal line and ended up eliminating West Ham in the presence of their home fans.
