The Lugansk club suffered a third consecutive defeat in European competition and will leave the competition after the group stage.
Lugansk Zarya will not play in the European football cups this spring. The Ukrainian club suffered a third consecutive defeat in the group round of the Conference League and finally lost the chance to leave the group.
In the fifth round, the Lugansk team played against Ghent and lost to their opponents 1:4. Moreover, the visitors scored a prestigious goal in the 82nd minute only.
As a result, Gent got three points and, along with Maccabi, advanced to the Conference League playoffs ahead of schedule. In the final round, they will determine among themselves who will go directly to the 1/8 finals, and who will be forced to go through the 1/16 stage.
Zorya suffered another defeat, which deprived the Ukrainian club of all hopes for the European spring. And even the last match against Breidablik does not have any significance in the tournament – the “black and white” with four points will remain in third place in Group B.
