Lech Poznań fans can be proud of Tymoteusz Puchacz, who helped Sabah Baku advance to the UEFA Champions League IV round. In the first match, Puchacz scored a goal, and in the rematch, he played in the starting lineup. The fans of Lech Poznań believed that their team would play in this doubleheader. The Polish champions won the first match against Aarhus 4:1 on the road, but in the rematch, they lost the same score and were eliminated from the competition. In the III round of the Champions League qualifying, Aarhus faced Sabah Baku. In the first match, which was played on August 5, the Danes were the winners. On their own field, they won 2:1, and the hero of the match was James Bogere. Two goals from the Ugandan striker ensured a modest lead before the rematch. Modest, because the Azeris scored through Veljko Simić. 90 minutes in Sabah colors played Tymoteusz Puchacz. The Polish defender also found himself in the starting lineup of Sabah for the rematch. On Tuesday, August 11, his team took on the challenge of making up for the loss to Denmark. And this attempt was successful. The Azeris, although only in the second half, achieved their goal. First, they defeated the Norwegian goalkeeper Mads Hedenstada, and then - the second goal was scored by the defender from Guadeloupe, Steve Solvet. The score of 4:0 was set by Jay-Lance Mickels and Xander Severina. Sabah defeated Aarhus 5:2 in the doubleheader and advanced to the IV round of the Champions League qualifying. Just like last week, Puchacz played the entire match, who is now just two matches away from the top European competition. Puchacz's role in the potential advance will be invaluable. In the previous two rounds - against The New Saints and Kuopion Palloseura, he scored three assists. Puchacz has never played in the league or the earlier group stage of the Champions League. He has, however, played in the Conference League and Europa League while playing for Lech Poznań and Union Berlin. Sabah Baku will face the winner of the Hapoel Beer Szewa - Crvena zvezda Belgrad pair in the IV round of the Champions League qualifying. In the first match, the Israelis won 1:0. The rematch is scheduled for Tuesday, August 11 at 20:00.
