Florucz’s double propels Union Saint‑Gilloise in a thrilling 3‑3 first‑leg

In the first half of the Champions‑League‑Qualifikation third Quali‑Runde Hinspiel, Union Saint‑Gilloise faced Norwegian Vizemeister Bödo/Glimt. ÖFB‑Teamstürmer Raul Florucz delivered a Doppelpack, helping his side reach a Hinspiel‑3:3 draw.

Florucz opened the scoring with a volley from the Strafraumgrenze after a Corner, sending the ball directly into the right Eck at the 25th minute. He doubled his tally five minutes into stoppage time of the first Hälfte, converting a fast‑break with a direct volley.

The 25‑year‑old ÖFB‑Stürmer was substituted in the 56th minute, ending his involvement in the Spiel after two spectacular Volley‑Treffern. His brace highlighted his clinical finishing for Union.

The match concluded with a 3‑3 result, the Hinspiel‑3:3 reflecting a tightly contested encounter between the Belgian runner‑up and the Norwegian side. Both teams exchanged attacks, but Union’s double kept them level.

Meanwhile, Roter Stern Belgrad introduced Marko Arnautovic and Muhammed Cham at the Pause in their away fixture against Hapoel Be'er Sheva. The Serbian Meister suffered a narrow 0‑1 defeat, the only goal coming before halftime.

Hapoel Be'er Sheva, the Israeli Champion, endured a prolonged period of numerical disadvantage after ex‑Austrian Matan Baltaxa received a yellow‑red card in the 60th minute. Despite the advantage, Roter Stern could not convert the pressure into an equaliser.

Arnautovic and Cham, both brought on in the Halbzeitpause, were unable to find the back of the net, leaving the Rote side without a response. Their efforts did not alter the final scoreline.

The report was accompanied by a photograph taken by IMAGO/Nico Vereecken in Szombathely, underscoring Florucz’s impact as an ÖFB‑Stürmer and Teamstürmer for Union.

Overall, the Spiel showcased the potency of Union’s attack, the resilience of Bodø/Glimt, and the challenges faced by Roter Stern Belgrad in their Champions‑League‑Qualifikation campaign.
