Varna complete Futsal Cup main round lineup

FC Grand Pro Varna completed the UEFA Futsal Cup main round lineup after winning 8-1 to top preliminary round Group H, the last section to finish.

Going into Sunday's concluding game, Bulgarian hosts Varna needed to beat Uni Futsal Bulle by at least the 4-1 scoreline managed on Saturday by FC Progress Chisinau, with whom the Bulgarian side had drawn 2-2. Celsinho gave Varna a dream start inside 52 seconds but the game was in the balance before a spell of six goals in just over ten minutes. Marko Kostić made it 8-0 before a late consolation from Laurent Rumo.

• Varna go on to face tournament ever-presents Iberia Star Tbilisi, hosts FK Nikars Riga and preliminary round Group C winners Rekord Bielsko-Biała in the main round from 30 September to 5 October. Also progressing earlier this week were debutants Hovocubo, FC APOEL Nicosia,  FC Stalitsa Minsk and MNK Alumnus Zagreb, plus Baku United FC and KMF Zelezarec Skopje.
