The recent rival of Dynamo Kyiv in the second qualifying round of the Champions League, Partizan Belgrade, suffered a fiasco in the Europa League, where it was eliminated after the defeat of the Ukrainian club (2:6, 0:3).
In the third qualification of this tournament, the Serbian team faced Swiss Lugano. The first match of the rivals, which took place in Belgrade, ended in a 0:1 defeat for the hosts.
In the return meeting Partizan first corrected their situation, managing to move the game into overtime with the score 2:1 in their favor, but already in the first half of extra time Lugano scored another goal, which turned out to be the last in this meeting - 2:2, and fans of trips to Russia are going even lower - in the playoff round of the qualification of the Conference League, where they will have Belgian "Ghent" as their opponents.
