BATE Borisov and Sheriff Tiraspol will lock horns at the Borisov Arena in the second leg of the Europa League third qualifying round.
BATE Borisov and Sheriff Tiraspol will lock horns at the Borisov Arena in the second leg of the Europa League third qualifying round on Thursday. After winning the first leg 5-1, Sheriff is in a commanding position and has already set one foot in the playoff round. A brace from David Akpan Ankeye on either side of a goal from Cedric Badolo put them 3-0 up by the 47th minute. Sidi Bane pulled one back for BATE in the 50th minute. But a stoppage-time double from Momo Yansane added extra grandiose to the scoreline. Sheriff Tiraspol has been a surprise package in Europe in recent years. In 2021, the Moldovan side famously beat Real Madrid 2-1 at the Santiago Bernabeu. Sheriff will now look to reach the group stage of a major European tournament for the third time.
On the other hand, things are very gloomy for Borisov. The Belarusian side’s defence has particularly come under the scanner. As a result, they have already conceded 11 goals in 2 legs against Aris Limassol. Their latest humiliation has once again shown just how out of depth they have been in these qualifiers. The Yellow-Blues need to win the second leg by at least four goals to overturn the deficit and reach the playoffs. Although the game is over for Borisov, yet, Alshevsky’s boys will play for their pride. It should be an easy game for Sheriff who will meet the winner of the Klasvik and Molde match.
