Yesterday, late in the evening, the pairs of the third qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League were revealed. Unexpectedly, Famagusta's "Anorthosis" from Cyprus advanced to the next stage, but the biggest surprise was presented by the Swiss team "Thun" eliminating Kyiv's "Dynamo". The Ukrainian team played a high-scoring draw of 2-2 at home in the first leg of the second qualifying round, but they sensationally lost to the Swiss opponents with a 0-1 scoreline in the away leg, securing their elimination. Lithuanian Edgaras Česnauskis started the match in the starting lineup, but was substituted in the second half. "Thun" will face the strongest Swedish team "Malmo" in the next round, while "Anorthosis", after unexpectedly defeating the "Trabzonspor" team at home with a score of 3-1, lost 0-1 in the second leg, but it was enough for the Cypriot club to advance to the third round, where they will meet with the Scottish champions Glasgow "Rangers". The first matches of the Champions League third qualifying round will be played on August 9/10, with the second legs on August 23/24. The group stage draw will take place on August 25th.
