Lleida winger Genís Soldevilla was the architect of Inter Clun d’Escaldes’ victory by scoring a brace in the second half of the first semi-final of the preliminary round mini-tournament that began today at the Vikingsvöllur stadium in Reykjavik.
La Fiorita opens the scoring and forgives the 2-0
The San Marino box opened the can in the added time of the first part. The scorer of the goal was Danilo Rinaldi, forward and captain of La Fiorita, who scored the first goal of the season in the Champions League, after finishing off a cross from the left.
La Fiorita had one more chance before the break to increase the lead, when the Italian Andrea Grassi crashed the ball against the post.
Soldevilla comes back in eleven minutes
Inter Club d’Escaldes turned the result around in the second half. His captain and a classic of the Spanish Segunda B, Genís Soldevila, tied the match in the 55th minute and, later, in the 66th minute, he scored the winning goal.
La Fiorita looked for a draw in the last match of the match, but was unsuccessful and Inter Club d’Escaldes from Andorra got into the final, in which they will face the winner of the match between Estonian Levadia Tallinn and Icelandic Vikingur Reykjavik , who acts as host. The final will be played on Friday.
Second attempt a year later
The Andorran champion also played in the final of this preliminary round last season, in which they beat HB of the Faroe Islands in the semifinals. They then lost against Kosovar Pristina 2-0.
The winner of this mini-tournament will advance to the first qualifying round, in which they will meet Swedish Malmö, and the other three teams will be transferred to the second qualifying round of the Conference League.
