From 0-4 to 5-4: comeback of the season in the Conference League 🤯🔥 | OneFootball

The Conference League is already offering us crazy matches.

While most European clubs have just resumed training, others are already playing key matches for their season.

This was particularly the case for HJK Helsinki (Finland) and NSI Runavik (Faroe Islands), who faced each other in the first qualifying round of the Conference League.

Beaten 4-0 in the first leg by the Faroese, after being reduced to 10 men from the 23rd minute, the Finns will achieve the unthinkable in the return match.

Perfectly launched thanks to the red card received by their opponent in the 15th minute, Helsinki will push until leading 3-0 in the 79th minute of play.

However, this is not enough and Helsinki then thinks they are heading for the exit. But in the 94th minute, Georgios Anzoulas will emerge to allow his team to snatch extra time. From the start of extra time, HJK finds the gap again thanks to a goal from Santeri Hostikka on a free kick and thus qualifies.

Final score on aggregate, 5-4 for Helsinki who signs a crazy feat and advances to the next round. The disappointment is terrible for Runavik and their goalkeeper, who (despite a hand fault on the third goal) stopped 14 attempts after suffering 57 shots, including 20 on target during this return match.
