Christopher Nwaeze broke the deadlock for Milsami in the 31st minute, but were dealt a blow when Andrei Cobet was sent off for them in the added minutes of the opening half. Virtus then capitalized on their numerical advantage in the second half and made it 1-1 through Stefano Scappini just six minutes into the restart.

However, their joy didn't last long as Nabil Khali restored Milsami's lead in the 61st minute, although Scappini made it 2-2 from the penalty spot shortly after. Things soon went bad to worse for the hosts as Frederick Takyi was also shown a red for Milsami, who were reduced to nine-men, but they still held firm and instead, added a third goal in the penultimate minute of normal time through Ime Udo Ndon.

Igor Picușceac's side need just a draw in the return to progress into the playoffs, a stage they've only previously reached during 2015-16 Europa League qualifiers. And as for Virtus, the San Marino minnows need to win by at least two goals to turn the tie around.

But here's the twist: since venturing in European territory for the first time last year, Virtus have failed to win a single game out seven outings, losing six, while netting only six times and conceding a staggering 23 goals.
