“Kady Borges opens the scoring after Musa Qurbanly's assist, briefly putting Qarabağ back on level terms in the aggregate tie at 2-2. The goal came after Borges had already rattled the post five minutes earlier.”
Pivotal“Marko Pjaca, on as a substitute just nine minutes earlier, restores parity for Twente on the night with a goal assisted by Wout Weghorst, extinguishing Qarabağ's brief aggregate lifeline and shifting momentum firmly toward the visitors.”
Pivotal“Max Bruns breaks Qarabağ hearts with a stoppage-time corner-kick goal assisted by Pjaca, putting Twente 1-2 up on the night and 3-2 ahead on aggregate to effectively seal the tie moments before the final whistle would have arrived.”
Pivotal“Younes Taha puts the result beyond all doubt with Twente's fourth of the night, completing a comprehensive 4-1 victory on the night and a 4-2 aggregate triumph to advance to the next round of the Europa Conference League.”
Qarabağ
FC Twente
Qarabağ gave themselves hope at the Tofiq Bahramov Stadium when Kady Borges converted after persistent Twente pressure on 59 minutes, briefly putting the tie in the balance at 2-2 on aggregate. But Twente's superior depth told decisively in the final ten minutes of normal time and into extra time, as the Dutch side outshot their hosts 29 to 9 and created five big chances to Qarabağ's one. The turning point arrived when substitute Marko Pjaca pegged it back to 1-1 on the night before Max Bruns struck from a corner in the 90th minute to swing momentum irrevocably. Wout Weghorst added a third deep in injury time and Younes Taha put the tie to bed in extra time, with Marko Jankovic's second yellow card for an argument summing up Qarabağ's frustrating night. Twente's 61 percent possession and 102 dangerous attacks told the story of a tie ultimately decided by Dutch physicality and bench quality.
