“Francis Kyeremeh broke the deadlock for Sarajevo, finishing to make it 0-1. The goal came after Inter Turku had surrendered three corners inside the opening 22 minutes, and Sarajevo punished the hosts with a clinical strike against the run of dangerous attacks.”
Pivotal“A. Conteh levelled for Inter Turku at 1-1, capitalising on a corner situation just after the hour mark to restore parity and breathe new life into the hosts' European hopes.”
Pivotal“Clinton Jephta, introduced just minutes earlier, fired Inter Turku into a 2-1 lead in the 87th minute. The goal came from a period of intense late pressure — two corners in consecutive minutes had pinned Sarajevo back — and Jephta punished them with a decisive finish before immediately picking up a yellow card for a foul moments later.”

Inter Turku rode a turbulent evening to claim a first-leg advantage in this Europa Conference League qualifier, recovering from going behind in the first half to win 2-1 in front of their home supporters. Sarajevo struck first through Francis Kyeremeh in the 22nd minute, a goal that arrived after a sustained spell of corner pressure, and the visitors held that lead into the break. Inter Turku dominated possession at 59% and generated 43 dangerous attacks to Sarajevo's 25, but their wastefulness in front of goal — only three shots on target from 11 attempts — meant the pressure took time to tell. A. Conteh equalised on 58 minutes after another corner routine, and the match appeared to be heading for a draw until a flurry of substitutions shifted the momentum entirely; within three minutes of Jean Fiacre Kouamé Botué entering the field, Jephta struck in the 87th minute to seal a win that gives Inter Turku a crucial advantage heading into the second leg.
