STRUMICA, North Macedonia. July 14 (PSN) – Pogon Szczecin and Lechia Gdansk took part of the second leg of the first round of the UEFA Europa Conference League qualifying on Thursday.
Pogon Szczecin lost 0:1 in their away match in Iceland to KR Reykjavik. After winning comfortably at home 4:1, Pogon had little reason to go full out in Reykjavik, unlike their opponents who had something to prove to their home fans. The winning goal was scored in the 44th minute by Sigurour Bjartur Hallsson and the match ended without the Polish club scoring any goals. However, thanks to the first leg game, Pogon advance to the next phase of the qualifiers due to goal difference. In the second round, Pogon will face Brondby IF of Denmark.
