A first-round tie decided by one goal
Aluminij drew 0–0 away to Sheriff Tiraspol on 9 July. The return in Slovenia on 16 July finished Aluminij 0–1 Sheriff, leaving the tie 1–0 to Sheriff on aggregate. The opening clean sheet kept the teams level; the only goal across the two fixtures came in the return.
Loukou's early goal settled the return at Ljudski Vrt
The deciding home leg was played at Ljudski Vrt in Maribor. Konan Loukou scored for Sheriff in the fifth minute, with Danila Forov supplying the assist. After the goalless first leg, that early breakthrough put Aluminij behind in the tie for almost the whole return match.
Aluminij could not find an equaliser, and the 0–1 score remained unchanged. The venue is a useful detail when revisiting footage: this European home fixture took place at Ljudski Vrt, rather than simply at the club's usual home ground.
