In the first qualifying round of the Champions League, the Ferencváros team faced Faroese club Klaksvik and faced unforeseen difficulties. Despite having a clear budget and squad advantage, the Hungarian team failed to win the away leg, drawing the game.
This created uncertainty ahead of the decisive home game. From the start of the game, Ferencváros tried to control the game, but struggled to create dangerous chances. Last season, Cherchesov’s team showed their strength in the Europa League through counter-attacks, but this time their tactics didn’t work.
“Klaksvik” played with a low defensive line and left no space for quick attacks. As a result, the first goal was scored by “Klaksvik” from the penalty spot, which significantly undermined the morale of Stanislav Salamovich’s team.
Cherchesov’s team tried to recover, but their attacks were ineffective. Klaksvik felt comfortable defending and counter-attacking at the first opportunity. The second goal scored by Klaksvik was the result of a ridiculous cross and shot, and the third goal was even more ridiculous.
The second half of the match didn’t bring any significant changes to the game, but closer to the middle of the second half, Ferencvaros started creating dangerous chances. However, the Faroese team fought back and managed to counterattack. As a result, “Ferencváros” could not score a single goal and lost with the score 0:3.
This result may seem unfair, but it reflects the difficulties encountered by Cherchesov’s team. Despite the failure, Ferencváros have still not lifted themselves from European competition and will continue their journey in the second qualifying round of the Conference League.
This game was a paradox for the Ferencváros team, which usually feels more comfortable in games with the favorites. However, this time they had to act first and face a cynical opponent. While dreams of a Champions League group stage have not come true, the Hungarian champions will now play in the Conference League. It’s a pity that already without Cherchesov.
