Malmö FF advances to CL qualification after drama in Iceland

It turned dramatic in Iceland.

Malmö FF played 3-3 away against Vikingur Reykjavik in the Champions League qualifiers, and is narrowly ahead.

The cross means that the MFF wins 6-5 in total.

After allowing in the late reduction, the preferred tends Malmo FF “Only” with 3-2 at home against Icelandic Vikingor last week.

It was no less exciting when Vikingur got off to a strong start and went 1-0 up on the artificial turf in Reykjavik.

However, two quick goals from Malmö before the break, by Veliko Permanshevic and Felix Pigmo, put the MFF in the driver’s seat again.

Clear lead lost

When Anders Christiansen finished a typical attack 3-1 right after the break, could the little heels of the visiting fans breathe a sigh of relief?

No, Vikingor’s two consecutive goals meant the Icelanders were just one goal from overtime with a quarter left to play.

We talked about not underestimating the discount. Malmo fell a bit on its own. They slowed down the pace of the match and called Vikingur, says Viaplay expert Saga Fredriksson.

Goal 3-3 Karl Friedlefur Gunnarsson nodded from a suspected offside position.

– When you see it later, it’s a rude sneak, I say, says Saga Fredrickson.

There were some exciting final minutes, but Malmo managed to hold off and thus win 6-5 on aggregate.

Bloody Damage to Kiese Thelin

Next, he will face MFF Zalgiris Vilnius of Lithuania. The first game of two players will be played away from home on July 19. The return meeting will take place in Malmö on 26 July.

– But that feat obviously won’t last as you enter the tournament, says Saga Fredriksson.

What’s very worrying for MFF is that Isaac Kiese Thelin took a hit due to a clash in an offensive penalty area. The MFF striker, who returned after illness in this week’s 3-0 win over Varberg, started bleeding from his head and had to change with half an hour left.
