The dream European journey, masterminded by an expert from Slovenia, has ended for Auda. The Latvian club, recently taken over by Zoran Zeljković, played in Europe for only the second time this year, yet they managed to overcome two opponents and reached the brink of the final qualifying round for the Conference League. However, despite Auda’s home win against Drita in the first match, their one-goal advantage (1:0) was not enough.
Drita turned the result in their favor in front of their spectators, celebrating a 3:1 victory after extra time and advancing. The Kosovans took the lead in the 75th minute when Besnik Krasniqi scored a penalty, ensuring extra time. It began with a goal from the visitors in Pristina, with Auda equalizing in the 91st minute thanks to Mor Gaye. The hosts then showed more strength, scoring twice more in the 102nd and 105th minutes, progressing with a total score of 3:2.
It is worth noting that this was Zoran Zeljković’s first match since early July without a win. The former coach of Krka, Koper, and Olimpija had achieved nine consecutive victories, but the dream streak finally came to an end in the tenth match.
