aalborg bk completed a comprehensive victory against bosnia-herzegovina's fk modriča to confirm a third qualifying round meeting with fbk kaunas.
kaunas tie aab had won the home leg of this tie 5-0 so a turnaround at the bilino polje stadium in zenica always seemed unlikely, even more so after anders due and casper rizart scored in each half, though mladen bojić did manage a consolation for the first-time uefa champions league entrants. the danish title-holders are aiming to follow up their 1995/96 group stage campaign but must now get past the team that eliminated rangers fc on tuesday.
win confirmed modriča's hopes were slim but they were determined to put up a good showing and bojić came close on six minutes. however, aab did not take long to add to their first-leg tally when due's long-range free-kick caught out home goalkeeper emir hadžidulbić. the match remained closely-fought but aab struck again just past the hour mark through rizart. there was something, however, for the home fans to cheer ten minutes later thanks to bojić.
