Armenia’s Alashkert beat Kairat (Kazakhstan) 3-2 in extra time of the second-leg match of UEFA Europa League’s third qualifying round.
Alashkert is now set to face Rangers (Scotland) in the Europa League playoffs. Steven Gerrard is the team’s head coach.
The result means the Armenian champion at least secured participation in the group stage of the UEFA Conference League. This will be the first time an Armenian team participates in a European club competition.
