Sheriff Tiraspol didn’t manage to qualify for the 1/16 finals of the UEFA Europa League. The team trained by Roberto Bordin lost away to Copenhagen 0-2, IPN reports.

The Danish team scored both of the goals in the second half. Soteriou opened the score in the 56th minute, while Luftner widened the difference three minutes later. In the 69th minute, Sheriff remained without Jairo, who was shown a red card. Sheriff could have scored in the 78th minute, but Badibanga missed a penalty.

Sheriff finished third with nine points, as Copenhagen, which will yet compete further owing to the victory scored in the direct matches. Lokomotiv won in the group with 11 points.
