This is the first time both Addo and the club will be playing in the Champions League
Midfielder Edmund Addo has chalked a piece of history with FC Sheriff after the Moldovan side progressed to the Group stage of the 2001/22 UEFA Champions League on Wednesday, August 25, 2001.
The 21-year-old played the entire duration of the 0-0 draw with Croatian side Dinamo Zagreb on the road to advance 3-0 on aggregate.
FC Sheriff put one foot in the group stage when they defeated Dinamo Zagreb at the Bolshaya Sportivnaya Arena in Tiraspol.
Despite allowing Dinamo to have 74% of ball possession, Addo and his teammates put on a defensive master class to thwart efforts of the home side.
This is the first time both Addo and the club will be playing in Europe’s top-tier inter-clubs competition.
Addo has become a mainstay for the FC Sheriff after making the move from Slovakian club Senica in June.
He played in all six qualification matches.
FC Sheriff will be in pot 4 with notable clubs such as AC Milan, Wolfsburg and Besiktas.
