0: 3 against Midtjylland – Disappointing YB missed the Champions League – Sport

• BSC Young Boys lost the match of the third round of the Champions League qualification in Midtjylland 0: 3.
• This means that the Bernese can only qualify for the Europa League through the playoffs on October 1 (without the return leg).
• The opponent of the Swiss champions will be drawn in Nyon on Friday.

For a time, YB could dream of the Champions League. Then the team of coach Gerardo Seoane was disappointed. After an own goal from defender Jordan Lefort in the 51st minute, the Swiss champions fell into reserve. Significantly, the Danes’ first goal came after a set piece, a free kick. After a good hour, Midtjyllands captain Anders Dreyer did the same.

YB dives into the second half

The cheers of the Danish champions’ players echoed in the empty Herning stadium. YB, on the other hand, seemed surprised and unable to react. Goalkeeper David von Ballmoos even had to accept 0: 3 (84th). Awer Mabil was able to attack YB’s goal alone and triumph on the sidelines.

YB paid a weak second half in which the guests had next to nothing to oppose the robust Danes. A shot from Jean-Pierre Nsame (74th) hit the post. But it was already 0-2. The top scorer of the previous season in the Super League had his chances in the first half. However, the Cameroonian missed goalkeeper Jesper Hansen several times.

Hope for the Europa League

If YB were still the best team in the first round, nothing was in sight after 0: 1. With a win, the Bernese could have qualified for the Europa League group stage and flirted with the Champions League. Now the Bernese have to fight for participation in the Europa League on the pitch. YB’s opponent will be drawn in Nyon on Friday. The ticket will be delivered on October 1, again in elimination mode.
