Leicester's indifferent start to the season continued on Thursday as they were beaten 1-0 by Legia Warsaw in the Europa League, thanks to a fine strike from Mahir Emreli
Brendan Rodgers made six changes to his starting line-up from the weekend draw at Burnley, benching many of his star players, and it showed in a lacklustre first half
Legia had beaten Spartak Moscow late on in their opening group game, but found the net just after the 30-minute mark against Leicester
 Emreli outmuscled Daniel Amartey at the top of the area before firing home via the post
The goal seemed to galvanise Leicester, who improved in the final minutes of the first half and were better in the second, but even the introduction of the Foxes' raft of attacking substitutes could not guide them to victory
The result will go down as a famous night for Legia Warsaw, with teenage goalkeeper Cezary Miszta in tears at full-time after keeping a clean sheet, having deputised for regular No 1 Artur Boruc
Legia take a shock early lead in Group C with six points, while Leicester sit bottom of the table with plenty of work to do to qualify for the knockout round
Legia had two identical chances inside six minutes
 Mattias Johansson easily got the better of Caglar Soyuncu down the right flank, getting into the box before cutting the ball back for a waiting Andre Martins at the top of the area
 However, his low effort was deflected behind for a corner
 Minutes later, it was a very similar move with the same players, but Martins' shot was weak and rolled easily into Kasper Schmeichel's hands
Leicester had their first real sight of goal in the 18th minute
 It was a lovely forward pass from Ayoze Perez, picking out Patson Daka, but the ball pinged off the latter's shin and headed wide
Legia continued to see half-chances fall their way, and finally made the breakthrough just after the half-hour mark
 Emreli muscled Amartey off the ball far too easily just inside the area, taking a few touches before lashing an effort into the back of the net via the post and leaving Schmeichel rooted to the spot
Leicester improved somewhat after conceding and had a few sights of goal as the game headed towards half-time
 Timothy Castagne nodded an effort into Cezary Miszta's hands, before Perez fired just wide
 Youri Tielemans had slotted a wonderful ball through the middle, which Daka tapped into Perez's path
 However, the forward lashed his effort a fair distance past the post
The Foxes thought they had equalised three minutes after the break, but Perez's fine hooked effort from a corner was ruled out for a foul elsewhere in the area
 Emreli then tried his luck for a second at the other end, but his effort from range lifted over the crossbar
Leicester soon began to see big chance fall their way in an improved second-half performance
 Miszta made a point-blank save, keeping the ball from rolling over the line after Jannik Vestergaard steered a corner goalwards with his shoulder
 Then, Daka poked just wide after some lovely play through the centre of midfield, unable to get the ball fully under his control
Despite the cavalry arriving for Leicester, it was Legia who could have added a second late in the game
 Lirim Kastrati burst through on goal and only had Schmeichel to beat, but his low effort was seen away brilliantly by the goalkeeper's foot
 Kastrati was in behind again soon after, but Tomas Pekhart could only fire over from his cross
James Maddison looked lively after being introduced as a substitute, but could not find the net with two last-gasp efforts as Leicester left Warsaw empty-handed
It was Emreli's fourth goal in four games for Legia, and as he did in the Europa League qualifying rounds, almost single-handedly steered his side to victory
 He was guilty of some poor finishing later in the game, but did well overall
Leicester manager  said: "It's very open, there are four games to go
 Legia have made a good start but our aim is to qualify
 We still have work to do
"We've got one point from two games but there is enough time to do that
"I'm disappointed with the result
 We were too passive in the game in the first half
 Then we had a couple of really good chances
"We didn't concede too much, we dominated the second half and were much more active
 We had opportunities to get something from the game
"I've made the changes but it doesn't take away the importance from it
 We have four more games to qualify
 As a football club, we're new to the level
"Legia coach added: "I'm happy because we did a good job
 It was the right idea to put three defensive midfielders
 It worked out well
 Then Kastrati replaced Martins and we also had more options in front of goal
"We should have scored two more goals in the last few minutes, but Kastrati's first effort was fantastically saved by Schmeichel and then he passed ball to Pekhart but he missed
"I spoke to Brendan Rodgers after the game, it is true he is a role model as a coach for me
 We gave him a nice gift
 So I hope he will be happy how he was welcomed here
 He showed that even when you're losing on the pitch, you can do so with class
""Leicester will be really disappointed
 They were really poor
 They were architects of their own downfall
"The side sent out didn't really understand what the job was and I don't think they believed they could win this game
"This was a performance that said the manager and players had one eye on Crystal Palace, and I don't understand that when you've got a squad of this size
"Brendan Rodgers has got the system wrong and he's got the personnel wrong tonight
"Leicester are back in Premier League action on Sunday when they visit Crystal Palace, live on Sky Sports; kick-off 2pm
 They will be back in Europa League action on Wednesday 20 October when they visit Spartak Moscow
