CS Universitatea Craiova snatched a 1-0 victory over BK Maxline Vitebsk in the UEFA Champions League First Qualifying Round, thanks to a goal deep into stoppage time. The win was the only separator in a tight contest that looked set for extra time.
The deadlock was broken in the 90th minute, when Craiova found the net to make it 1-0. The goal came after a scrappy second half that saw three yellow cards: Assad Al-Hamlawi for Vitebsk in the 39th minute, Monday Etim for Craiova in the 42nd, and Adrian Rus for Craiova in the 86th.
Without detailed possession or shot data to lean on, the match is best remembered for its late drama. Craiova held on for the win, while Vitebsk will rue their inability to create a clear chance before the decisive moment.
