Twente clinches away victory after extra-time onslaught

FC Twente came from behind to secure a dramatic away victory in Baku, ultimately defeating Qarabağ FK 1-4 after extra time in a playoff round tie that turned decisively in the visitors' favour after full-time.

The match remained competitive through 90 minutes. Kévin Borges gave Qarabağ the lead in the 59th minute, but Twente responded with Marko Pjaca equalising in the 79th. The hosts' discipline began to slip as yellows accumulated for Lobato, Várkonyi and Janković before the interval ended. Matús Bruns restored Twente's advantage in the 90th minute to make it Qarabağ FK 1-2 FC Twente.

The decisive blow came in extra time. With Qarabağ reduced to ten men following Marko Janković's red card in the 106th minute, Twente capitalised ruthlessly. Wout Weghorst added a third goal moments later, and Yacine Taha sealed the result in the 114th minute. The final scoreline of 1-4 reflected Twente's control after Janković's dismissal, which effectively ended Qarabağ's hopes of forcing a penalty shootout. The hosts could not recover from the numerical disadvantage in extra time.
