Tottenham, victorious in North Macedonia of Skendija 79 (3-1) and AC Milan, home winner of Norwegians Bodoe / Glimt (3-2), qualified Thursday for the play-offs of the Europa League.
The two clubs are only one game away from the group stage, the play-offs scheduled for October 1 being played in a dry match like the previous qualifying rounds.
Tottenham, finalist of the Champions League 2019, was scared against Skendija 79, but could still count on his duo Son-Kane.
