Mittwilan (Denmark), the club of Cho Kyu-sung and Lee Han-beom, has been given the green light to advance to the third qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League (UCL).
Mittwilan defeated Santa Coloma (Andorra) 3-0 away from home in the first leg of the 2024-2025 UCL second qualifying round at the Andorra La Vella National Stadium in Andorra on Thursday (June 24).
Mitwillan will host Santa Coloma next month for the second leg.
If Mitwillan advances past the second leg, they will face Rangers (Scotland) in the third leg.
National team forward Cho Kyu-sung was left out of the roster as he is rehabilitating from knee surgery.
Defender Lee Han-beom was named to the squad but remained on the bench.
Mitwilan took the lead in the 12th minute of the first half through Franculinho.
Following a corner kick, Adam Buksa hit the crossbar and Adam Gabriel had a shot blocked just before crossing the goal line, but it was Franculinho who finished.
Usman Diao added a second goal in the 28th minute before Aral Simsir sealed the win 18 minutes from time with a shot following a dribble.
Partizan (Serbia), in which Ko Young-joon played 45 minutes, suffered a 2-6 defeat to Dynamo Kiev (Ukraine) that clouded their chances of qualifying for the third round.
Partizan will play the second leg at home next month.
Ko Young-joon started at center midfield but was unable to generate any offense and was sent to the bench after playing only the first half.
Partizan took the lead in the 22nd minute when Mateusz Saudanya converted a penalty kick.
However, Dynamo Kiev equalized in the 40th minute through Mykola Suhaparenko, then Volodymyr Brazhko in the 43rd minute and Oleksandr Karabayev in first-half stoppage time.
Partizan went into halftime down 1-3, and conceded another goal 11 minutes into the second half from Uladislau Kabayeu.
Saudanya scored a late goal in the 21st minute, but it wasn’t enough to turn the tide.
After that, Dynamo Kiev’s Denis Popov scored in the 38th minute and Oleksandr Pikhahlonok scored just before the end of the match, and the game was completely over. 사설 토토사이트
