The history-making Vilnius "Žalgiris" learned their opponent in the Europa League group stage qualification. The future opponent of the Vilnius team will be Razgrad's "Ludogorets" club, which lost to Zagreb's "Dinamo" team with an overall result of 3:6. In the second match, the Bulgarian champions lost 2:4 away to the Zagreb team. During the match, three "Ludogorets" players (Dominik Yankov, Rick and Zhana Karnichnik) received red cards and will have to miss the upcoming qualification matches. The first match will be played on August 18 in Bulgaria. The second one - in Vilnius, at the LFF stadium. Speaking about other qualification matches, it is worth mentioning that "AS Monaco" suffered a fiasco for the second year in a row in the Champions League qualification. This time, the Monegasques initially led 3:2 against PSV, but ultimately the Eindhoven team equalized and extended the game. The victory for PSV in extra time was awarded by a goal from Luuk de Jong. In the next round of the Champions League qualification, we will also see the teams of Kyiv "Dynamo", "Benfica", "Rangers", "Plzen", "Maccabi" and "Crvena Zvezda".
