Milsami lost the return match against Saint Etienne 0-1 and thus failed to qualify for the Europa League groups. Halfback Benjamin Corgnet scored the only goal in the 15th minute, IPN reports.
After staging a tie in Chisinau, Cristian Bud had a big chance to score in France too, but missed it in front of the goal. “I have nothing to reproach my players for. We showed that we are much better prepared than two years ago, when we lost to Saint Etienne by a general score of 0-6,” Milsami coach Iurie Osipenco told a news conference.
Sheriff is the only Moldovan team that played in the groups of the UEFA Europa League. The team from Tiraspol did it three times.
