On March 6, the first leg of the UEFA Europa Conference League Round of 16 took place between Poland's "Legia" and Norway's "Molde". The match was held in Norway and ended with a 3:2 victory for "Molde".
During the match, the Norwegians were leading 3:0 but lost their advantage. "Legia" managed to score two goals and even had chances to equalize. However, being one goal behind leaves the Polish club with a comfortable chance for the return leg at their home stadium. Interestingly, the scenario of this match resembled last year's game in the Round of 32 of the UEFA Europa Conference League. Back then, "Molde" was also leading 3:0, but the match ended 3:2.
Armenian midfielder Vahan Bichakhchyan started in "Legia's" lineup. This was his debut in the main stage of European competitions.
