A Conference League participant is preparing a protest to UEFA. The club’s match ended in a scandal


On 15 August, the second leg of the third qualifying round of the Conference League took place. One of the meetings ended in a huge scandal, in which even UEFA would be dragged into.
We are talking about the second leg match between Polish Śląsk and Swiss St. Gallen. The game in Wrocław, which will be the host of the current Conference League draw, ended with a 3-2 victory for the reigning Polish vice-champion, but thanks to a 2-0 win in the first leg, St. Gallen went further ahead.
However, the whole game was marred by controversial decisions of Croatian referee Duje Strukan, who, among other things, disallowed Śląsk's goal and cancelled a penalty in his favour, as well as showing the home team three red cards. St. Gallen scored the winning goal thanks to a penalty on 90+18 minutes, and the teams played for almost half an hour.
The match itself ended in a scuffle between the players, and the president of the Polish club Patryk Załęczny said on social network X (Twitter) that Śląsk is preparing a protest to UEFA on the results of the referees' work:
‘We are currently exploring all legal possibilities. However, I can already say with certainty that we will lodge a protest with UEFA about the ‘work’ of the referees, who did not control the events on the pitch and their decisions were questionable.’
