Lillestrøm SK and KF Egnatia draw 0–0 in Europa League playoff

Lillestrøm SK and KF Egnatia played to a 0–0 draw in the first leg of their Europa League playoff match in Rrogozhine. Despite an early period of dominance by the Norwegian side, a goal by Ruben Gabrielsen was disallowed by VAR for a marginal offside.

Lillestrøm missed a significant opportunity to take the lead in the 71st minute when Felix Vá failed to convert an open goal from the 16-meter mark. The match was also marked by disruption when Egnatia supporters threw plastic cups at players during a corner kick.

Lillestrøm enters the second leg at Åråsen as the favorite, despite a recent dip in domestic league form. KF Egnatia faces defensive challenges for the return fixture, including the absence of starting left-back Edison Ndreca due to a red card suspension.
