Athletic Bilbao's Europa League Opponent

Athletic Bilbao now know their rival in the Third Qualifying round of the 2015-16 Europa League. They face Inter Bakú, after the Azerbaijani side overcame resistance from Icelandic club, FH Hafnarfjordur, eventually going through after extra time was necessary last night.

Despite losing 2-1 in Iceland, the visitors took the game to the Bakú side forcing extra time but a 91st minute goal from Rauf Aliyev was enough to tilt the tie in favor for the home team.

Match Details

The first leg will take place at San Mamés on July 30 (kick-off: 20.45 CET) and the return leg taking place in Bakú on August 6. If Athletic make it through, they then play another definitive play-off before securing a place in the group phase.

Inter Baku and Qarabağ FK

Inter Baku is currently lying in second place in the domestic Azerbaijani league, five points adrift of leaders Karabakh (Qarabağ FK) who are Glasgow Celtic's rivals in the next phase of the Champions League qualifiers.
