Egnatia continues to write history, this time in Europe, with the Tetovo team that for the first time manages to pass a round in UEFA competitions. The Albanian champions were perfect in the Conference League, they passed without many problems a rival with a lot of experience like Dinamo Minsk, "flying" in the third round of the Conference League, where they will face Olimpija Ljubljana, the giants of Slovenian football. After the clean 0-2 success in the transfer, Egnatia triumphed in the return match at home, this time with a score of 1-0.
The Tetovo team did not put the match and qualification in doubt for a moment, moreover they did not give up on their game philosophy, despite the fact that Dinamo scared them quite a bit at the start, where after only 8 minutes of play, after a mess in the area, they flirted with the advantage goal. Pushed by the audience, Egnatia quickly took control of the game, where in the 17th minute Ildi Gruda alone in front of the goalkeeper failed to find the box. The Rrogozhina team increased the pressure in the Dinamo Minsk area, but Regi Lushjka was not accurate either, with the midfielder trying to find the box on two occasions, but without success.
The story of this match did not change in the second half, where Egnatia again had the first word, but Gruda, on a bad evening, failed to be specific in the area, in the 49th minute he wasted a clear chance alone in front of the goalkeeper. In this challenge, goalkeeper Dajsinani also did his part, with the latter becoming the protagonist in the 59th minute by avoiding a clear chance in the area.
Finally, after several attempts, Selmani thought of closing the score with the Belarusians, who with a fantastic shot on the edge of the penalty area scored a super goal, giving Egnatia the advantage, a result that remained unchanged until the end, turning this historic evening into a celebration for the Albanian champions.
After "breaking" a strong taboo, after advancing to the third round, Egnatia does not want to stop even though the draw at this stage has reserved another strong obstacle for them, like Olimpja Ljubljana.
