Arda continues to the third qualification round of the Conference League. The team from Kardzhali eliminated HJK Helsinki by 4-3 after penalties. Arda’s hero for the match, goalkeeper Anatoly Gospodinov, saved two penalties kicks. In the regular and the extra time, the two teams drew 2-2; the first match a week ago ended in a goalless draw.

Levski suffered a 0-1 loss to Braga after extra time, after the regular time of the match played in Portugal ended in 0-0. This means Levski is going to play, on home ground, versus Sabah, Azerbaijan in the third round of the conference League.

Cherno More ended its participation in the European club tournaments after losing an away rematch from the Conference League by 0-4 vs. Istanbul Basaksehir.
