For the second-consecutive Europa Conference League Qualifying match, Djordje Mihailovic made an impact for AZ Alkmaar.
Mihailovic came off the bench and registered one assist in AZ Alkmaar’s 2-0 second leg win over Andorran side FC Santa Coloma. The U.S. men’s national team midfielder didn’t need plenty of time to make an impact, following up on his goalscoring performance last week. Mihailovic set up Mayckel Lahdo in the 78th minute for the second goal of the match as AZ Alkmaar registered their second-consecutive shutout win of the competition. AZ Alkmaar will next face Norwegian side Brann in the final round of qualifying with matches slated for August 24 and 31.
