Ferencváros has advanced to the Europa League playoffs after a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Poland's Górnik Zabrze in the third qualifying round. The Hungarian champions secured their progression with a 2-1 aggregate victory over the two legs.

The decisive goal that eased Ferencváros's nerves came late in the match, ensuring they avoided a potential upset. While Joseph and Zachariassen had earlier chances to seal the win, including a one-on-one saved by goalkeeper Philipp Schulze and a shot hitting the post, the team ultimately held on.

Ferencváros will now face Turkish side Trabzonspor, a team that has featured Mohamed Salah in its ranks, in the Europa League playoff round. They will play the first leg of this tie away from home next Thursday.

Meanwhile, Górnik Zabrze, despite their elimination from the Europa League qualifiers, will continue their European journey in the Conference League. They are set to compete for a place in the main draw against French club Monaco, with their first match taking place on home soil.
