el arbi hilal soudani and josip šimunić scored to help confirm an appointment with aalborg bk.
a trip to aalborg bk next week beckons for gnk dinamo zagreb after they completed another 2-0 uefa champions league second qualifying round win against vmfd žalgiris.
the croatian champions quickly atoned for a goalless first half in vilnius, 19-year-old marco pjaca's incisive ball setting up half-time substitute el arbi hilal soudani – one of algeria's stars at the recent fıfa world cup final – to lob žalgiris goalkeeper armantas vitkauskas.
the home side may have feared worse was to come when dinamo made it 2-0 on 49 minutes, domagoj antolić's corner met with a powerful finish from 36-year-old captain josip šimunić. however, there were to be no further goals, though 17-year-old dinamo substitute ante ćorić hit the post from ten metres eight minutes from time.
