Aberdeen Held 1-1 by Noah as Conference League Hopes Fade

The draw leaves the Dons 33rd with two points, requiring wins over Strasbourg and Sparta Prague to keep any chance of advancing.

Overview

  • Kevin Nisbet scored just before half-time for his first goal of the season, but Nardin Mulahusejnovic equalised early in the second half for Noah.
  • Aberdeen have two points from four games and sit 33rd in the 36-team league phase, likely needing two wins and help elsewhere to reach the top 24.
  • Manager Jimmy Thelin vowed not to sacrifice European fixtures for domestic priorities, acknowledged the performance fell short, and accepted supporters’ frustration after boos at full-time.
  • Players highlighted persistent attacking problems, with Nicky Devlin urging contributions across the team as Aberdeen continue to struggle for goals domestically and in Europe.
  • Noah’s rapid rise has made them credible opponents, and Mulahusejnovic has maintained his streak of scoring in every Conference League game this season.
