Tuesday’s Champions League: the Moldovan miracle is within reach, Monaco will catch up

Although the last round of Champions League qualification is already without Czech representation, there is no shortage of interesting results. This was confirmed by Tuesday’s matches, in which the paper outsiders succeeded twice.

After the elimination of Sparta, Shakhtar Donetsk waited for Monaco. The latter has a lot of experience with the Champions League, which was evident on Tuesday.

From the nineteenth minute in France, they led thanks to the Brazilian Pedrinho and despite the pressure of the home team, no more goals fell, the closest was Sofiane Diop, when in the 82nd minute he shot the ball into the bar. Cesc Fabregas and co. will have a lot of catching up to do in the rematch.

Sheriff Tiraspol are also surprisingly close to progressing. The Moldovan champions continue their impressive run, during which they have already knocked out Teuta, Alashkert and Crvena Zvezda Belgrade.

Now he is slowly finding a place in his scalp collection for Dinamo Zagreb, whom he managed to beat 3-0 at home. Yes, this is the team that knocked out Tottenham in the Europa League semi-finals last year. Two goals were scored by Malian winger Adama Traoré.

In the Austria-Denmark clash, Brondby looked like winning for 57 minutes, but then Salzburg woke up and turned the tide with two goals. The 2-1 result keeps both in the relegation race and Brondby will be hoping for a big boost from their fans.

There was also one Europa League qualifying match. Crvena Zvezda Belgrade gave Cluj no chance and will go into the rematch in Romania with a 4: 0 lead.
