Ghanaian international Zuberu Sharani produced a masterclass performance to help Slovan Bratislava progressed to the next round of the UEFA Champions League qualifiers.

The former Dreams FC marksman was on target in his outfit 2-2 draw against Zrinjski Mostar on Tuesday night.

Despite the stalemate, Slovan Bratislava have secured qualification to the next round with a 3-2 aggregate scoreline.

Before the second leg tie, the Slovakian club had inflicted a 1-0 away win over their opponent, courtesy the Ghanaian forward solo strike in the first leg last week.

Serbian forward Aleksandr Cavric scored as early as the 5th minute to give Slovan in the lead in the second leg after he was set by veteran midfielder Juraj Kucka.

The 23-year-old Ghanaian forward doubled the advantage for the hosts in the 66th minute after connecting a beautiful flick pass from Cavric.

Zrinjski scored twice in the last fifteen minutes of the match to level matters through Hrvoje Barisic and Antonio Ivancic.

Compatriot Malik Abubakari was introduced in the game in the 87th minute after replacing Cavric.

Slovan will face the winner of the match between Maccabi Haifa and Sheriff Tiraspol in the next stage of the qualifications.
