FC "Sheriff" scored, albeit a minimal, but sure victory in the first match of the second qualifying round of the Champions League against the Albanian "Kukesi".

 

Roberto Bordina wards all the match held in the attack. Rare attacks guests had a small threat, but a confident game of the line of defense, "yellow-black", allowed the guests to inflict only three hits on goal. With these balls, Zvonimir Mikulic handled easily.

 

On the other side of the field grass in the penalty area "burned" under the feet of guests. The ball rushed before the gate, but stubbornly did not want to fly into the gate. The bar, crossbar, inaccurate blows from the killer position and the game of the Albanian goalkeeper saved the guests from the goal.

 

The second half did not change the picture. A one-way street did not give a result, but it could not go on forever. And the Albanians, at the end of the day, were heavily physically fit, made a fatal mistake. Hand play in the penalty area, more than an occasion to assign a penalty. Zigi Badibanga performed it flawlessly. Until the end of the match, "Sheriff" had several more opportunities to increase the gap in the account, but on the whole everything remained unchanged - 1: 0 in favor of the squad Roberto Bordin.

 

The return match will be held at the stadium of the Albanian city of Elbasan exactly in a week.
