Lillestrøm SK and KF Egnatia began their UEFA Europa League playoff tie with a 0–0 draw in the first leg held in Rrogozhine. During the match, a goal by Lillestrøm’s Ruben Gabrielsen was disallowed by VAR for a marginal offside, and a significant scoring opportunity by Felix Vá was missed in the 71st minute. The fixture was also noted for disruption when Egnatia supporters threw plastic cups at players.

Following the scoreless draw, the teams prepared for the decisive second leg at Åråsen Stadion in Norway. While Egnatia had already secured a position in the UEFA Conference League, a win in the return fixture would grant them advancement to the Europa League group stage. Lillestrøm entered the match as the favorite, despite a recent dip in domestic form.

In the second leg, the tie progressed to extra time after the match ended in a 1–1 draw during regulation. Lillestrøm ultimately secured a 2–1 victory following a goal by Thomas Olsen in the 94th minute. The result eliminated Egnatia from the Europa League, though they have secured a place in the UEFA Conference League group stage.
