Sheriff Tiraspol lost also the return math to Viitorul Constanta of the first qualifying round of the UEFA Youth League. After the 4-1 win at home, the team patronized by Gheorghe Hagi scored a 1-0 victory in Tiraspol, IPN reports.

The only goal of the game was scored by Cicaldau, who took the penalty that he was awarded in the 45th minute. “I think we would have had problems if the players from Tiraspol had exerted greater pressure. But they allowed us to control the game,” Viitorul coach Nicolae Rosca told a news conference.

In the second round of the competition, the team from Constanta meets FC Zurich.

Last year Moldova was represented by Zimbru at the UEFA Youth League.
