Outstanding performance
Rijeka•AttackerStrasbourg secured their progression to the next round of the Europa Conference League despite being held to a 1-1 draw by Rijeka, advancing 3-2 on aggregate. The visitors took an early lead through Toni Fruk's well-placed left-footed effort from the penalty area, assisted by Amer Gojak, putting pressure on the French side who needed to respond. Strasbourg's equalizer came courtesy of Valentín Barco, who capitalized on Sebastian Nanasi's assist to slot home from close range in the 71st minute. The result represents a successful European campaign progression for Strasbourg, while Rijeka will rue missed opportunities despite a spirited two-legged performance that ultimately fell just short of advancement.
