Hajduk Split - Horizont Turnovo 2:1
Great result for Turnovo and they had 1:1 just before 10 minutes to the end of the game! I thought it would be 5:0 for Hajduk, but it turned out great actually! Turnovo did show in a good light, but I still don't think they can go through. They have an active result. All they need is a 1-0 win! Should they advance, they will meet Dila Gori/ Aalborg Partizan - Shirak tomorrow Slovan or Ludogorets in the next round. 
Vardar Skopje - Steaua Bucharest 1 - 2 (1 - 5 agg.) Dinamo Tbilisi - Steaua Bucharest I really wanted a win for Vardar just with 1 goal, but didn't happen. Oh well! 
The goal came with a header, which is expected. Macedonia and Macedonian teams should use their heads more often to score. Romanians are shorter + not really good jumpers and that should have been advantage for Vardar. I do like Steaua, so I hope they can do well in their upcoming matches. Interesting, both Steaua and Dinamo Tbilisi have one Macedonian player in their squad. Partizan - Shirak 0:0 Shirak (with all due respect for them, as they showed a lot in both matches), I would probably tell him that he is crazy, but now.......... This is a huge embarrassment for the whole club, and almost every player except the goale (Lukac), Ivanov and the captain Ilic should be punished for this. Ludogorets Razgrad who massacred Slovan Bratislava in Razgrad with 3:0, but based on how they completely destroyed them, even if they won with 10:0, it wouldn't be undeserved. They destroyed Dinamo Zagreb last year as well, and they lost in an unlucky way in 97th minute. The Bulgarians are a completely wild team, and we never knew how to deal with this kind of extremely offensive players. As we don't have Volkov on the left back in these matches (because of the red card yesterday against Shirak), and as we don't have Mitrovic in the attack, it will be a sensation if we remained undefeated in Bulgaria, and if they don't rape like they raped Slovan. They are the strongest exactly in those parts where we are the weakest - on the backs. We need to play ugly now, defensive, and if something gets in, great, if not........the goal is to get as little hits in the net as possible. If we manage to survive their uraganic attacks in the first 30 minutes, maybe we have some chance for a positive result in the first match. An early goal would boost chances, as the Bulgarian team looks confused when they get a goal, but the only thing is.......we need to score. Just that.
As I said earlier, what happened in Armenia last Wednesday must never happen again. It was below every level that is acceptable in a club like Partizan. I really hope that we learned a lesson and that such things will never repeat again. I expect some changes in the team, and with Ivanov back in the team, I think we will be able to neutralize their most dangerous player (Fofana), that we didn't succeed at all in the first match. We have to play offensive since the begining, and try to set up our play and the domination on the field, as we are playing on our stadium, in front of our supporters, and a good play and a routine victory as a result of that against Shirak tomorrow would bring back the optimism before the tougher matches against
It will not be easy as they saw that they can play against us, and they know that they can't lose anything so I expect even better Shirak than last time, and a risky play. In short -they will go on "everything or nothing". They have an active result from the first match and a chance to solve the overall winner with one goal.
However, if we do what we can tomorrow, I believe there will be no problems.

Molde FK 2-0 Sligo Rovers (3-0 agg) Legia Warszawa SA - Molde FK Debreceni VSC 0-3 Strømsgodset IF (2-5 agg) FC Aktobe 2-0 IL Hødd (2-1 agg) Inter Baku PIK 1-0 Tromsø IL (1-2 agg) St. Johnstone FC 1-1 Rosenborg BK (2-1 agg) FK Baumit Jablonec - Strømsgodset IF
Is it true that Molde is defending against relegation ?Next match:
Ludogorets heavily underestimated us, and almost every player is s******g on us in their statements. On other teams from this region as well, but of course, since we are their next rivals in the qualifications, we are the target #1 Shirak , I have to say that I really like that they are treating us like this, and I hope they will underestimate us even more, say that they will trash us with 50:0 or something like that....... we always function better when we are completely underestimated than when we are the favorites. Rubin Kazan - Jagodina 1:0 (first match: 3-2 for Rubin) Too bad that Miloš Stojanović left the club at the end of the season, as his absence in the attack was obvious. Honved - Vojvodina 1:3 (first match: 2-0 for Vojvodina) clubs, and if they continue like this (they have a very good team now), they will be the first contenders for the champions title in Serbia. Bursaspor in the next round, but you never know what happens in soccer.........Differdange has also shown that this year. IBV - Crvena Zvezda 0:0 (first match: 2-0 for Crvena Zvezda) IBV is a complete disaster, and they had more luck than brains to eliminate the Icelandic team. If the regular goal of IBV was counted in the first match and if IBV used the penalty in the second one, who knows what would have happened. And who knows what would've happened if only the second option realized. Chernomorets Odesa, they better not travel to Ukraine.
