FC Sheriff conceded to Odds BK in a home match by the score 0:3 and complicated their situation before the second-leg match.
 
From the very start our team did not have much luck. Already on the second minute Chukwuma Akabueze scored a goal. Odds BK continued their attack. Ruud made two dangerous penalty shots but Mitrev made saves. On 11th minute the second goal was scored by Frode Johnsen. By the middle of the half FC Sheriff could get back to the game when Juninho Potiguar performed a flick header and Rossbach did not fix the ball at once. The first to pick the ball was Ricardinho but got into the post. Then the guests scored the third one. There was a mess in FC Sheriff penalty area after a corner kick and Norwegian team captain Steffen Hagen could use the situation. In the first half added time our team had two great chances to score. Ricardinho sent a firm shot but Rossbach was able to make a save. Then Kadu delivered a corner, Ricardinho passed to Metoua who could not outplay the goalkeeper in a close combat.
 
The second half was started more actively on the part of FC Sheriff. Kadu sent on Ricardinho and made a shot which lacked a few centimeters to reach the far corner. After sixty minutes of the game the guests performed a dangerous attack. Jugovic sent not a precise pass taken by Berg. Norwegian midfielder reached the penalty area and made a shot to the close corner, however Mitrev was there to make a save.  Substituted Vyacheslav Sharpar made a shot at the goal but Odds BK goalkeeper played safely.
 
Odds BK kept a clean sheet and now FC Sheriff should perform something incredible in the second-leg match.
