The champion of Moldova, Petrocub Hîncești, drew the second leg with the champion of Wales, The New Saints, 0-0. Thanks to the 1-0 victory in Chisinau, the team qualified for the UEFA Conference League groups for the first time, IPN reports.
Coach Andrei Martin said that it was a very difficult match, but he is satisfied with the team’s performance. In his opinion, it is very important for any footballer to play in the European autumn.
The Moldovan Football Federation in a press release said that Petrocub Hîncești thus becomes the first team from Moldova, apart from Sheriff, to qualify for the group stage of a European interclub competition.
Petrocub could even reach the Europa League groups if they manage to beat the next opponent in the Europa League play-offs.
