YB can be shown by Midtjylland and missed the Champions League
After a good first half and a bad relegation after the break, the Young Boys were knocked out of the Champions League standings at the Danish champions Midtjylland. The Bernese lost 0-3.
For the Swiss champions, the next few weeks will be about achieving the lesser of the two goals in the European Cup: participation in the group stage of the Europa League. For this, the Bernese will have to prevail in a playoff with home and away matches.
All disaster in Herning came for YB in the first quarter of an hour of the second half. The Danes, of whom little was seen in the first 45 minutes, suddenly pressed and the Bernese were crushed. From his point of view, the 0: 1 could hardly have been more annoying. Defender Jordan Lefort was irritated by a free-kick cross and deflected the ball into goal with his upper arm. Goalkeeper David von Ballmoos, who had not yet been examined, had no chance to intervene. Eleven minutes later, at 2-0, the Danes took advantage of a rebound off the crossbar after a stabbing cross.

The Bernese did not really cope with this setback. They were able to keep the game open for the last half hour, and goalkeeper Jean-Pierre Nsame simply failed with a direct acceptance. The 3: 0 shortly before the end didn’t really matter. But the Bernese did not find their way back to the constitution to change course. Initially, there was little explanation for the weak performance in the second half.
Using the example of the game in Herning, the different characters of an elimination duel in one game or in two games (round) were made clear. In this home game, the Danes did not depend on getting the clearest possible victory as a reserve for the second leg. They took no chances and for a long time they were more walls than attackers, which was also due to the fact that the Bernese dominated from the start.

At the start of the season, YB coach Gerardo Seoane can at least take note of the fact that, unlike the same time a year ago, he draws on the entire squad. It meant that valid players, potential fanfare players like Gianluca Gaudino and Ulisses Garcia were not included in the team.
