FK Velež Mostar edged past FC Milsami Orhei 1-0 in the UEFA Europa Conference League first qualifying round. The only goal came late, with Aldin Mesic scoring in the 83rd minute to settle a tight contest. The match was also notable for a sending-off, with Milsami's Vasile Luchita receiving a second yellow card in the 80th minute.
The game remained goalless until the 83rd minute when Armin Spahić set up Aldin Mesic, who finished to make it 0-1. That goal proved decisive as Velež held on despite being reduced to ten men themselves? No, the facts show Luchita's dismissal was for Milsami, not Velež. So Velež kept their discipline to see out the win.
Aldin Mesic was the match-winner, scoring the only goal on a night where both sides had spells of pressure but few clear chances. The game saw six yellow cards including a second yellow for Luchita, reflecting a scrappy affair with little flow.
