Three clubs continue in European competition

Ferencváros: A successful start in Champions League qualifying so far this season featured an aggregate victory over The New Saints from Wales, but Denmark's Midtjylland brought that run to a halt with a 3-1 triumph over two legs last week. That means the Green Eagles drop into the Europa League play-off round where they'll face Borac of Bosnia for the right to play in the group stage which starts next month.

Paks: it was an ignominious start to the European campaign for Hungary's cup winners, a 4-0 home defeat to Romanian second-tier club Corvinul Hunedoara effectively ending their participation in the UEFA Europa League. A consolation 2-0 away victory in the second leg restored some confidence though and a 5-0 aggregate success against AEK Larnaca in the Conference League was the perfect preparation for a 3rd-round tie against FK Mornar Bar of Montenegro, which György Bognár's side safely negotiated 5-2 over two legs. They now face Czech side Mlada Boleslav in the Conference League play-offs for a spot in the group stages.

Puskás Akadémia: The club from Felcsút started with two 3-0  Conference League wins against Dnipro before edging past Ararat-Armenia 4-3 thanks to a last-minute equaliser in the home leg from substitute Artem Favorov, this second match finishing 3-3 after a single-goal victory for the Hungarian club in the first leg in Armenia. Zsolt Hornyák's team now face a tough task in attempting to overcome Italian giants Fiorentina in the play-offs for a place in the Conference League group stages.

Fehérvár: One win in four matches perhaps shows why the team formerly known as Videoton hasn't hung around for long in European competition this time. A 2-1 aggregate triumph over Sumqayit FK set up a Conference League 3rd-round tie with Omonia Nicosia, but the Cypriots prevailed 3-0 over two legs to knock Fehérvár out of the competition.
