Bratislava forfeits Champions League tie after positive COVID-19 tests
26.08.20 / 08:19
The match was initially scheduled for Aug. 19 but postponed to Aug. 21 after a member of Bratislava’s delegation had returned a positive test.
Bratislava were required to provide a list of additional players who had tested negative and were eligible to play.
However, a player from the second group returned two positive test results in consecutive days, forcing the tie to be cancelled.
UEFA said its Appeal Committee decided that as the fixture could not be played, Bratislava were “deemed to have lost the match 3-0.” KI Klaksvik will meet Young Boys in the second qualifying round on Tuesday.
