SC Freiburg to meet Motherwell in UEFA Conference League play-offs | OneFootball

SC Freiburg will face Motherwell in a two-legged play-off to decide who reaches the UEFA Conference League league phase.

Motherwell reached the play-offs after a 1-1 draw with HIK in Finland, then a return-leg win sealed by Ibrahim Said’s second-half brace. According to BuLi News, that victory left them within two games of a first European league phase.

Said also struck a late winner as Alfred Johansson’s side opened their Premiership campaign with a 2-1 success over Hibernian. They then drew 0-0 with Falkirk in their first home league match on Sunday.

Motherwell finished fourth in the Premiership last season.

Freiburg, beaten by Aston Villa in last season’s Europa League final, qualified for Europe by finishing seventh in the Bundesliga and begin their season with this tie. The first leg is scheduled for next week at Fir Park, with Julian Schuster’s side hosting the return the following Thursday.
