UEFA Champions League Playoff Round: Salzburg, Sheriff, Shakhtar Advance To Group Stage

 The playoff round of the UEFA Champions League concluded on Wednesday with three games.


Champions Path:


At Brondbyvester, Denmark:


Benjamin Sesko (4') and Brenden Aaronson (10') each scored once in the first ten minutes as FC Red Bull Salzburg defeated Brondby 2-1 on the road in game two and won their series 4-2 on aggregate.


At Zagreb, Croatia:


A game-two 0-0 road stalemate with Dinamo Zagreb was good enough for FC Sheriff as they became the first Moldovan club to reach the Champions League's group stage after eliminating the Croatian club 3-0 on aggregate.




League Path:


At Kharkiv, Ukraine (due to war-like conditions in eastern Ukraine):


After dropping a 2-1 regulation home decision to AS Monaco to square their series at 2-2 on aggregate, Shaktar Donetsk still advanced 3-2 on aggregate after Ruben Aguilar scored an overtime own goal at 114th minute.
