Return matches will be held on August 23
AT Champions League There were three qualifying playoff matches.
Azerbaijani Karabakh tied with the Czech Victoria Plzen. Gurban Gurbanov’s team had the initiative in the course of the meeting, but they could not turn the advantage into at least one goal – 0:0.
Maccabi Haifa in a productive match at home beat the Serbian Red Star – 3:2. The first half ended with the advantage of the Serbs (the guests answered Piero’s goal with accurate shots from Pesic and Kanga). However, after the break, the Israelis, thanks to the same Pierrot and 34-year-old Surinamese midfielder Tyaronn Cheri, managed to snatch the victory.
Also in a head-to-head match today, the Kiev Dynamo and Portuguese Benfica. Mircea Lucescu’s team lost in a nominally home match with a score of 0:2. Ukrainian Roman Yaremchuk played for the Portuguese from the 63rd minute.
The return legs of the play-off stage of the Champions League qualification in these pairs are scheduled for August 23.
