The outcome wasn't entirely unexpected, given Silkeborg's 1-0 loss at home against Jagiellonia a week prior. This latest defeat marked a disappointing exit from the tournament for the Danish team. Jagiellonia's victory showcased their strength, particularly in away matches, where they've demonstrated impressive form.

Silkeborg faced an intense atmosphere at Bialystok City Stadium, where Jagiellonia's home advantage was palpable. The Danish team was put under immediate pressure, struggling to cope with the Polish side's relentless attacks. Despite coming close to scoring, hitting the woodwork twice in quick succession, Silkeborg couldn't capitalize on their chances. Instead, Jagiellonia took the lead just before halftime, with Jesus Imaz scoring after a well-placed cross from Alejandro Pozzo.

The hosts' momentum surged after taking the lead, and they pinned the Danish team back with relentless pressure. This strategy paid off just five minutes later when Imaz struck again, doubling Jagiellonia's lead to 2-0. Despite dominating possession and creating scoring opportunities, Jagiellonia couldn't extend their lead in the second half.

In a late consolation for Silkeborg, Sofus Berger scored a well-taken goal from the edge of the box, reducing the deficit to 2-1. However, it was too little, too late for the Danish side, who were ultimately outclassed by the superior Polish team. Despite the late goal, Jagiellonia's victory was never in doubt, and they progressed with confidence.
