F91 Dudelange vs MŠK Žilina - Teams comparison

MŠK Žilina - F91 Dudelange, 25.07.2007

MŠK Žilina defeated F91 Dudelange 5–4 on 25 July 2007 in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League first qualifying round. The match was an unusually high-scoring contest, with both teams finding space in the final third and repeatedly troubling the opposing defences. Žilina had already won the first leg 2–1 in Luxembourg, so the Slovak club began the return match with a narrow advantage. The nine-goal game produced several changes in momentum, but Žilina ultimately held on to win 5–4. The result gave the home side a 7–5 aggregate victory and confirmed its place in the next qualifying round. Despite scoring four goals, Dudelange could not overturn the deficit from the opening match. The tie remains notable for its attacking character and for the fact that all fourteen goals across the two legs were scored in an exceptionally open contest.
