NSÍ
NSÍ advanced to the next round of the Europa Conference League qualifying on the back of a disciplined defensive performance and clinical finishing across extra time, despite Koper dominating large swathes of this second leg at home. The Slovenians controlled possession — 63% to 37% — and fired 33 shots to NSÍ's 12, but could only find the net once in regular and extra time, with an own goal by Bangaly Diawara at the corner in the 35th minute gifting the Faroese side the opener. Marius Lindh's second goal on 70 minutes appeared to put NSÍ firmly in control, but Koper pulled one back through a penalty before Michal Przybylski's corner-assisted strike in the final minute of extra time restored the two-goal cushion and, more importantly, set the aggregate scoreline at 3-3. In the shootout, misses from Josip Ilicic, Álvaro Roncal and Viljormur Davidsen proved decisive as NSÍ held their nerve to go through, capping a remarkable result for a side that had to defend under relentless pressure for long periods of a match that produced 13 yellow cards and a cauldron-like atmosphere.
