A corner was cleared to [b][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/redzic-damir/Cv4Nbg8I/"]Damir Redzic[/a] at the edge of the box, and his testing strike was parried by the goalkeeper, but only to [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/konate-kamir/8n78fLmJ/"]Karim Konate[/a], who tapped in the rebound.[/b][/p][p]A little over five minutes later, the tie was done and dusted when [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/baidoo-edmund/AL64Sz39/"]Edmund Baidoo[/a] picked up possession on the halfway line before going on a jinking run and scooping the ball into the MAIF area, where [b]Konate outmuscled the defence and headed the bouncing ball past Wallinder.[/b][/p][p]The Austrian champions added a third with 10 minutes to play - the ball was swept out wide to Nikolas Veratschnig on the right, and his first-time centre was [b]flicked away from [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/vertessen-yorbe/vXXE0beb/"]Yorbe Vertessen[/a] by Wallinder, who could only divert it straight to [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/tabakovic-haris/Asecu8a3/"]Haris Tabakovic[/a], who tapped home.[/b][/p][p]That was more than enough to send Salzburg coasting through to the UEL League Phase, while Mjallby will continue their maiden European season in the third tier.[/p][p][b][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/soccer/europe/europa-league/"]Review all the UEL play-off second leg results on Flashscore.[/a][/b][/p]
