Ruch Chorzow, like KKS Lech Poznan on Wednesday night played a very disappointing UEFA Europa League qualifier at home - drawing a goalless 0:0 game to Maltese side Valleta FC. The 3rd top Polish Ekstraklasa side suffered consistency, and failed to control the game.

Valleta's lack of finishing touch prevented them from leaving Chorzow with qualification in hand to the Third Round, and Ruch's reserve goalkeeper Matko Perdijic was taunted as a hero with some brilliant game saving goalkeeping.

Fortunately, for the Polish hosts, Artur Sobiech's goal in Malta proved quite crucial in their European campaign.

Thanks to it, Ruch win the Second round on the away goal rule, and matching up with FK Austria Wien in the next round.
