Major qualifiers-surprises in the Conference: Ilves and Mornan knocked out Austria and Radnicki on penalties!

The second day of the return matches in the second qualifying round of the Conference League has concluded, with four matches taking place.

There, four teams defended the lead they had from the first game, while two games went to overtime and then to penalties.

Specifically, the first category includes Auda, Fehervar, Spartak Trnava and Hackenwith the latter throwing another “six” (6-1) in Dudelange.

The big surprises occurred in the other two “battles”.

First, Finnish Ilves hosted by Austria Vienna and having a “dowry” in their favor 2-1 from the first game, they were defeated 3-2 in regular time. With the match going into overtime, he initially conceded a goal, but responded to the 112′to be more accurate in the penalty shootout (4-5), with the home team failing on the last run.

In the other match that was led to the “Russian roulette”, h Mornar from Montenegro “touched” from the normal duration the surprise qualification by welcoming the Radnitsky, as previous 2-0 (had been defeated 1-0 in the first match). But, he saw the visitors score in the 90’+8′, sending the match into overtime. There, nothing changed, with the hosts prevailing 4-3 on penalties.

It should be noted that none of the aforementioned pairs affected the possibility of AEK being among the strong ones in the draw for the Conference League Playoffs (provided, of course, that “Union” completes the qualification against Inter D’Escaldes first).
