After eliminating the champion in Belarus, Fola took an option to qualify against Northern Ireland. Fast-paced, the Luxembourgers turned the tables and found a place in the playoffs, the final stage before the group stage of the Europa League conference.
Escoise surprised from the start with a ball from the back of the defense that turned into William Chadwick’s goal against Emmanuel Cabral (9, 1-0). In their match, they raised big issues for the Northern Ireland champions, with a beautiful strike wound in the opposite window until Stefano Benzei equalized (69, 1-1). The same Benz got a center back from Gauthier Karon a few minutes later, but it sent it up (78th).
The problem finally came, and Luxembourg International was still moving. His free-kick, deflected by the Irish goalkeeper at the post, bounced back to Karon for an unstoppable recovery at 6m (88, 1-2).
The return match will take place next Thursday (7:30 pm) at the Josie-Berthel Stadium in Luxembourg. If they qualify, they will face the losers of the Europa League clash between the Kazakhs of Almaty and the Armenians of Alaska in the playoffs.
