Vitória Guimarães naturally recorded a 1-0 victory over Hajduk Split, but the Croats won the first meeting 3-1. The early goal by Guimarães player Anderson was not strong enough to stay in the race for a place in the group stage of the Conference League. Hajduk Split is only one hurdle away from a place in the third club tournament.
Portugal has already lost one of the six participants. The victory of course 0.200 points for the coefficient ranking, but Guimarães will not score any more points this season. Portugal must win to make up for the Netherlands deficit of more than two points with five teams. If that fails, the Netherlands will have two permanent participants in the group stage of the Champions League from 2024.
PSV remained in the race for a CL ticket on Tuesday evening, by stopping AS Monaco after extra time. AZ and FC Twente will continue the hunt for a place in the Conference League on Thursday evening. The Tukkers meet FK Cukaricki, openly AZ against Dundee FC.
