The victory for the hosts was brought by the goals scored by the legionaries. In 24 minutes, Kairat was led by Guinea striker Jose Kante, who has played in Poland for the last six years, and Macky Bagnack from Cameroon scored the victory in the 79th minute.
In the 56th minute, the result was equal after the goal of the Croatian club Dinas Mikanovičius, representing the Kazakhstan club, but in the end the Serbs suffered more than an unexpected defeat.

In the league, the Belgrade club has won 35 victories in 38 matches and has drawn three times, ending the season with a staggering +94 goal difference. In the season decorated with the title of the country’s champions, the capital’s team crowned the Serbian Cup.

The Swedish Malmo FF team won the home with an identical result, beating the Finnish champions 2: 1 (1: 0) in their stadium. Helsinki HJK. Former Swedish football star Jonas Dahl Tomasson’s Swedes were scored by Croatian Antonio-Mirko Chalak (45 ‘+ 1) and strategist compatriot Andres Christiansen (75’), while Roope Riski (68 ‘) was the Finnish team.
Valdas Dambrauskas’ pupils in Razgrad, who competed in the guests, failed to break the defense of the rivals “Ludogorets“. Bulgarian champions with Slovenians Murska Sobota’s “Mura” stood out with a peaceful result 0: 0.
Throughout the meeting, the dominant visitors from Bulgaria raised 7 corners and made 14 strokes, and the percentage of possession of the ball exceeded the opponents as much as 61-39.
However, this dominance could not be turned into a victory for Ludogorec – the Bulgarians made a single shot to the goal area in the 91st minute, when the headless attempt of Kirilo Despodov was blocked by the home goalkeeper Matko Obradovičius.
The team that will recognize the advantage of the competitors in this pair may become another competitor of Vilnius “Žalgiris” in the UEFA Europa League selection. Such a scenario will become a reality if Vilnius residents do not surpass the Ferencvara footballers of Budapest, who lost 0: 2 in the first match as a guest.
