Kazakhstan side win 1-0 as goalkeeper makes a number of crucial stops in the first leg
Considering the Kazakhs knocked last year’s Europa Conference League semi-finalists Basel out of the competition in the second round, this certainly wasn’t a shabby result for the only remaining Irish team in Europe this summer.
In came Diallo, who made such an impact against the Finnish as a substitute with a goal and an assist, alongside Adam O’Reilly. When Patching dispossessed Tobol right back Bagdat Kairov on 16 minutes, the Englishman found Paul McMullan with a cross field pass. The flying Scotsman dribbled past two Tobol defenders before he was brought crashing to ground just outside the penalty area by Ivan Rogac. From the resultant free-kick Duffy laid the ball to Patching who smashed an effort over the wall and down the middle of the goal but Russian goalkeeper Ivan Konovalov punched it clear.
Maher once again came to Derry’s rescue six minutes before the interval when Islam Chesnokov’s cross from the left was deflected into the path of Deble. The striker’s first attempt was charged down by Cameron McJannet but he was first to the rebound and Maher reacted quickly to block his effort at the near post.
The deadlock was broken on 64 minutes in spectacular style when Miljan Vukadinovic laid it into the path of the unmarked Asrankulov who let fly with his left foot and it smashed off the underside of the crossbar and nestled into the net.
