Koper and Zeljeznicar will trade tackles in the second leg of their UEFA Conference League First Round qualification tie on Thursday (July 17th). The game will be played at Bonifika.
The tie is firmly in the balance, with the first leg having ended in a 1-1 draw in Bosnia last week. Koper went into the break in the lead thanks to Isaac Matondo's seventh-minute strike and were seemingly on course for victory until Aleksander Boljevic equalized deep into injury time.
Both sides will resume their quest to make it to the Conference League group stage. The winner of this tie will face Viking in the next round, while the losers are eliminated.
