Europa League and Conference League, the results of the third qualifying round

In a European evening with about 40 matches scheduled between the qualifiers for the Europa League and the Conference, the greatest attention from Italy catalyzed the match played at the Stadion Partizan in Belgrade. There the Dutch Twente closed the Cukaricki case, dragged by goals in the first half of Rots, Vlap and Brenet. The result gained in Serbia (1-3: the home team’s goal is the work of Kovac) does not particularly smile at Fiorentina, who will face the winner between these two teams in the play-offs to access the Conference League: next week, in the Netherlands , the second leg of the third qualifying round will be played and at Twente (opponent on the worst card for the Viola di Italiano) it will be enough to draw or lose with a goal difference to go on.

EUROPA LEAGUE

–

A fruitful transfer from Zurich to Northern Ireland also thanks to the contribution of the blue Gnonto, author of the doubling on Linfield. In the other matches of the evening, Fenerbahce (but without Joao Pedro) and Malmoe do well, with three of a kind each, they will face the second round next week with greater serenity, decisive to snatch the pass for the Europa League playoffs. Surprisingly, Partizan Belgrade fell in Cyprus. The big match between Olympiakos and Kucka’s Slovan Bratislava ended with a draw signed in extremis by the Greeks. Smiles for Hjk Helsinki (in Slovenia) and the Irish of Shamrock Rovers (three of a kind to the Macedonians of Shkupi in a match that lasted more than 100 minutes).

CONFERENCE LEAGUE

–

Several Italians on the pitch in the third round of the Conference League. Esposito’s Anderlecht won in Estonia. Success also for Okaka’s Istanbul Basaksehir in Iceland. Scuffet kept a clean sheet in his Cluj tie. While Brignoli, Panathinaikos goalkeeper, conceded two goals in the knockout achieved in Prague (where there were as many expelled). The Maltese of the Hibernians, coached by Pisanu, drew in Latvia, recovered by the hosts in the 85th minute. The Sfantu Gheorghe of Mr. Bergodi surrendered, in Romania, to the Swedes of Djurgarden. Nainggolan instead scored a brace in the trio with which Antwerp beat Lillestrom in Norway. Home wins for Maccabi Tel Aviv (Zahavi’s goal against Iturbe’s Aris Salonicco), Apoel Nicosia and Molde. Young Boys outside success, while Basel raised the white flag in Denmark. In comeback, Livaja’s Hajduk Spalato got the better of Vitoria Guimaraes. And then there are the surprises. The Irish of St Patricks beat Sofia, Hapoel Beer Sheva did the same in Lugano, Rapid Vienna crashed in Baku and Vaduz stopped Konyaspor. Lech Poznan lost in Iceland, Alkmaar were defeated by Dundee. Shkendija equalized on the Aik field. Viking and Fehervar proved to be mouths of fire: 5 goals each for the two clubs. Two red cards in Zrinjski Mostar-Tobol Kostanay (measure success of the Bosnians).
