The return match of the third qualifying round of the Europa League between French "Bordeaux" and "Mariupol" took place in Bordeaux.

Oleksandr Babich's team played well in the first half, responding to the French attacks with their own attacks. But, unfortunately, the Azov team was extremely unsuccessful in the beginning of the second half, missing twice in five minutes. The first ball flew into the goal of the Ukrainians in the 54th minute after a long shot by Punja. And almost immediately, not having time to recover after this goal, "Mariupol" missed another. Sankare scored in two minutes.

One ball the guests were able to play. In the 66th minute, a free kick was delivered by the Azov striker Ruslan Fomin.

As a result - 1: 2, and the Ukrainian team completes its performance at the European arena this season.
