Sabah FK claimed a comfortable 2-0 victory away to KuPS in the UEFA Champions League second qualifying round. The Azerbaijani side did all their damage in the second half, scoring twice to take command of the tie.
After a goalless first 45 minutes, Veljko Simić broke the deadlock in the 52nd minute, turning home Tymoteusz Puchacz's assist. Sabah doubled their lead just past the hour mark when Joy Lance Mickels finished from Xander Severina's pass, effectively ending the contest.
Without a detailed box score, the standout fact is that Sabah FK scored with two of their chances while KuPS failed to reply. Four yellow cards were shown, to Umarali Rahmonaleiv, Petteri Pennanen, Saikou Touray, and Brahima Magassa, but no reds altered the flow of the game.
