Young Boys right-back Silvan Hefti was then shown a red card in conceding a penalty that Myrto Uzuni drilled against the post (27) before goals from Vincent Sierro (40) and Ulisses Garcia (65) put the home team in charge, only for Boli to leave the tie in the balance with the visitors' second eight minutes from time. • Both teams have recently featured in the UEFA Champions League group stage; YB made their debut in 2018/19 while Ferencváros appeared for the second time, and the first in 25 years, last season. • The first leg was the sides' first UEFA encounter, although each has plenty of experience against clubs from their opponents' country. Form guide Ferencváros • Having claimed their 32nd league title – and third in succession – in 2020/21, Ferencváros are looking to make their second successive appearance in the UEFA Champions League group stage. • A side coached by Serhiy Rebrov made their first group appearance since 1995/96 last season, coming through four qualifying rounds to reach the group stage. They finished fourth in a section also featuring Juventus, Barcelona and Dynamo Kyiv, their sole point a 2-2 home draw against the Ukrainian club. • Peter Stöger succeeded Rebrov as coach in the summer, the Ukrainian having won the Hungarian First League in each of his three seasons in charge. • Ferencváros defeated Molde on away goals in the 2020/21 play-offs (3-3 a, 0-0 h), their first appearance at that stage of the UEFA Champions League. They also beat Sūduva of Lithuania in the 2019/20 UEFA Europa League play-offs (0-0 a, 4-2 h), their only other play-off tie in UEFA club competition. • Ferencváros lost in UEFA Champions League qualifying five times between their two group appearances. • Ferencváros have already played seven matches in this season's UEFA Champions League campaign, which began in the first qualifying round. They eased past Prishtina of Kosovo (3-0 h, 3-1 a) and Žalgiris of Lithuania (2-0 h, 3-1 a) before a 2-0 first-leg win at home to Sparta Praha set up a 2-1 aggregate success in the third qualifying round. • The Budapest club have therefore won their last three home Europan matches without conceding, scoring seven goals themselves. • Ferencváros have managed only one win in their six fixtures against Swiss clubs (D2 L3); at home their record is D2 L1, the defeat having come in the most recent encounter, against Basel in the 2004/05 UEFA Cup group stage (1-2). Their only previous knockout tie against Swiss opposition was a 2-1 aggregate loss to Zürich in the 1982/83 UEFA Cup second round (1-1 h, 0-1 a). • No Hungarian club has ever featured in successive UEFA Champions League group stages; Ferencváros's 2020/21 appearance was the country's first since Debrecen in 2009/10. • Ferencváros have lost on aggregate in 18 of the 21 UEFA competition ties in which they were beaten away in the first leg, most recently against Rijeka in the 2014/15 UEFA Europa League second qualifying round (0-1 a, 1-2 h). Their only success in the last 15 instances was on penalties against CSKA Moskva in the first round of the 1994/95 UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup (1-2 a, 2-1 h). Their sole previous 3-2 away first-leg defeat, against Werder Bremen in the 1991/92 European Cup Winners' Cup second round, was followed by a 1-0 home loss. • Ferencváros's record in six penalty shoot-outs in UEFA competition is W3 L3, the defeats having all come in the last three: 5-4 v Željezničar, 1971/72 UEFA Cup quarter-final 7-6 v CSKA Moskva, 1994/95 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup first round 4-3 v Helsingborg, 1997/98 UEFA Cup second qualifying round 4-5 v Hajduk Split, 2001/02 UEFA Champions League second qualifying round 2-3 v Copenhagen, 2003/04 UEFA Cup first round 1-3 v Partizani, 2016/17 UEFA Champions League second qualifying round Young Boys • Champions of Switzerland in each of the last four seasons, YB are attempting to successfully negotiate UEFA Champions League qualifying for only the second time. In 2018/19, Gerardo Seoane's side beat Dinamo Zagreb in the play-offs, winning 2-1 in the second leg in Croatia to complete a 3-2 aggregate triumph. 4 Ferencvárosi TC - BSC Young Boys Tuesday 24 August 2021 - 21.00CET (21.00 local time) Match press kit Ferencváros Stadion, Budapest • That was Young Boys' only play-off success in five attempts – they fell at this stage in 2010/11 against Tottenham (3-6 aggregate), 2016/17 against Borussia Mönchengladbach (2-9 agg), 2017/18 against CSKA Moskva (0-3 agg) and 2019/20 against Crvena zvezda (3-3 agg, lost on away goals). This season is their ninth UEFA Champions League campaign. • In the 2018/19 group stage, the Berne club finished bottom of a section involving Juventus, Manchester United and Valencia – although they did claim their first win in the UEFA Champions League proper against the Bianconeri on Matchday 6, winning 2-1 at home. • YB's 2020/21 UEFA Champions League campaign lasted only two matches; they beat KÍ of the Faroe Islands 3-1 at home in the second qualifying round but then lost 3-0 at Danish side Midtjylland. • The Swiss club therefore moved into the UEFA Europa League, beating Tirana in the play-offs (3-0 h) before finishing second behind Roma in Group A.
