Both teams were meeting each other for the first time but it appeared Milsami had a clue about their opponent’s weaknesses. Dan Spataru snatched a brace while Mamadou Camara scored once, with Kirill Premudrov’s own goal adding insult to injury.
Vulturii Roșii failed to make it to the second qualifying round last season but are on track to achieve that goal this time. Armed with a two-goal lead, the hosts are expected to make the most of their home advantage to win the tie on aggregate. They are unbeaten at home in their last five matches in all competitions.
Torpedo BelAZ endured a difficult game in the first leg, mostly pressed on the defensive. However, they had their thunderclap moments as well, but only succeeded in finding the back of the net twice. The visitors now have a huge two-goal deficit to level in an away fixture, which is looking very much like an uphill battle.
The Belarusian outfit reached the second qualifying round of the UEFA Conference League in the previous two seasons. They have also competed in the Europa League three times, reaching the third qualifying round once. However, it’s unclear if their experience from those competitions could help them surmount the challenge ahead.
