Azango, Zubairu and Yem help AS Trencin hold AEK Larnaca

Abdul Zubairu, Reuben Yem and Philip Azango were on parade as AS Trencin were held to a 1-1 draw by AEK Larnaca in the Europa League play-off round.

Having scaled Feyenoord hurdle in the third qualifying round, the Slovak Super Liga side came into to the encounter with the aspiration of progressing to the main competition.

After a goalless first half, Trencin took the lead after 55 minutes through Joey Sleegers. However, their goal was erased five minutes later after Acoran Barrera levelled matters for the Cypriots.

Goalkeeper Tono Ramirez was at his best to deny the Slovaks a chance to secure victory at Stadion na Sihoti.
