Conference League: forward Sheriff, Aek Larnaca and Anderlecht

A brace from Diop allowed the Moldovans to eliminate Partizan away. The Greeks of Aek take out the Dnipro. Belgians promoted on penalties

A big surprise. And a lot of balance. In the matches at 18.45, valid for the second leg of the Europa League playoffs, the Moldovan side of Sheriff Tiraspol won 3-1 in a comeback at Partizan who had prevailed 1-0 in the first leg.

The brace from the 22-year-old Senegalese Mouhamed Diop was decisive, having scored just two goals in the previous 20 games of the season. Sheriff are first in their league. Aek Larnaca also arrives in the round of 16: the leaders of the Cypriot championship, who beat Dnipro-1 at home 1-0 last week, drew 0-0 away. The hosts made the game, but without being able to unlock it. Anderlecht also overturned the result of the first leg, which after losing 1-0 at Ludogorets, won 2-1 at home. Without the away goals rule, it went to extra time first and then to penalties, where the Belgians managed to prevail 3-0.
