Malmo’s new acquisition Mohamed Buya Turay was subbed on nine minutes to full-time and was greeted with a big cheer from the home supporters as he made his debut for his new side.

Dudelange’s Charles Morren was sent off in the 31st minute after a second yellow card, a moment that energies the home team to take full advantage of the tie.

Kiese Thelin 54′Toivonen 81′ and Birmančević 85′ were the scorers for the home team as they take a huge advantage into the second leg next Thursday, August 11.
