1. FSV Mainz 05 vs SK Sigma Olomouc

Mainz made history on Thursday night, beating Sigma Olomouc 2-0 at the MEWA Arena to reach the UEFA Europa Conference League quarter-finals for the first time in the club's history. A dominant second-half display did the damage after a cagey first 45 minutes. Stefan Posch set the tone immediately after the break, powering home a header just seconds into the second half (46'). Olomouc were then reduced to ten men when Peter Barath picked up a second yellow card in the 76th minute, and the visitors never recovered. Armindo Sieb put the tie to bed with a clinical finish in the 82nd minute, sparking celebrations around the MEWA Arena. The 2-0 win on the night sealed a 2-0 aggregate victory after the goalless first leg in the Czech Republic. For Mainz, this is uncharted territory — a European quarter-final beckons. For Sigma Olomouc, a spirited Conference League campaign comes to an end, but they can hold their heads high after a battling run.
