“Islam Chesnokov put Tobol ahead inside seven minutes, giving the hosts an early lead in front of their own supporters. The goal was ultimately a footnote given the aggregate picture but injected brief life into the occasion.”
“Stefan Mitrovic restored parity for Partizan just sixty seconds into the second half, immediately erasing Tobol's lead. The goal arrived on the back of Partizan's sweeping half-time changes, with three fresh legs injecting new energy, and effectively ended Tobol's only realistic foothold in the game.”
Pivotal“Chaka Traorè, introduced as a second-half substitute, converted from a corner situation in the 90th minute to give Partizan a deserved 2-1 win on the night. The goal arrived after a flurry of late corner pressure and rounded off a thoroughly dominant aggregate display.”

Tobol
Partizan
Partizan arrived in Kostanay with a four-goal aggregate cushion and little to prove, yet they still found a way to win the leg and underline their class over two matches. Tobol made the perfect start through Islam Chesnokov's seventh-minute opener, giving the home faithful something to cheer, but Partizan's half-time triple substitution proved decisive — within sixty seconds of the restart, Stefan Mitrovic had levelled. Tobol were the more industrious side on paper, dominating possession at 55 percent and generating 45 dangerous attacks to Partizan's 32, but the Serbian side showed the clinical edge that had defined their 4-0 first-leg showing. With the tie long settled, Partizan continued to press for the win and got their reward when substitute Chaka Traorè tucked home from a corner in stoppage time, capping a comfortable European progression for the Belgrade club and leaving Tobol to reflect on a chastening aggregate defeat.
