The remaining matches in the round of 16 playoff of the conference league offered a clash in Bratislava between Slovan and Sturm, which also had a touch of Slovenia, and a match in the Polish capital where Legia failed to overcome Molde.
The encounter in the Slovak capital had a more or less symbolic significance since the players of Sturm dispelled doubts about the eventual winner already in the first leg. In the first part, there were no goals in sight, although this time – unlike the match a week ago – the initiative was taken by the Slovaks, who unfortunately couldn’t capitalize on it with a goal. The guests secured a minimal victory early in the second half, precisely in the 52nd minute when Mika Bierith aimed true once again. Tomi Horvat was on the field from the 65th minute, while the visiting captain Jon Gorenc Stanković concluded his appearance in the 75th minute. Kenan Bajrić played the full match for Slovan.
In Warsaw, Legia was chasing the deficit earned in the first leg in Norway by Molde, and the visitors handled their visit to Poland excellently. The guests took the lead practically right at the beginning and dispelled doubts about advancement in the 20th minute when they were already leading 0:2. Blaž Kramer entered the game in the 61st minute and immediately narrowly missed the goal. The players of Molde set the final score of the match (0:3) in the 67th minute. For some entertaining input, the loyal fans of the club from the Polish capital sent a message to UEFA since they were prohibited from gathering in their standard stand for this match. This, however, did not prevent them from supporting their favorites in large numbers.
