Ludogorets, in their victory over Sutjeska (2-0), and Lech Poznan, after beating Qarabag (1-0), put themselves on the path to qualifying for the second round of the Champions League qualifying round. .
Polish side Lech, who has not participated in this continental competition since 1993, got the win on a goal from Ekstraklasa top scorer last year. Swedish Mikael Ishak, on the brink of the break, finished the ball inside the area to give his team the victory, which won thanks to its better effectiveness.
Meanwhile, the Ludogorets more easily beat Montenegrin Sutjeska and, if there were no surprises, they were in the second round to try to return to the group stage. Since the 2016/17 academic year, he hasn’t achieved this and with second -half goals from Brazilian Santana and Argentine Matías Tissera, he’s pretty close to reaching his goal.
Malmö is getting complicated at the discount
For their part, Malmö, who played in the group stage last season, won a tight 3-2 against Vikingur Reykjavik, who eliminated Andorran Inter Club Escaldes in the preliminary stage.
Malmö advanced to Martin Olsson (16 ‘) and, despite Kristall Mani Ingason’s (38’) leveling, they made it 3-1 which seemed certain thanks to Ola Toivonen (42 ‘) and Veljko Birmancevic (84’ ). However, Vikingur, who has been playing since 39 ‘with ten when Ingason saw the second yellow card (39’), scored an important 3-2 on a goal from Gudjunsson at halftime (93 ‘) .
