Sabah FK are into the Champions League after being founded in 2017. Getty Sabah FK qualified for the Champions League on Tuesday night, only nine years after being founded.
The club from Azerbaijan defeated Israel's Hapoel Be'er Sheva 6-4 on aggregate.
Home side Sabah forced extra-time thanks to a sensational volley from Tellur Mutallimov in stoppage time. Goals from Orphe Mbina and Joy-Lance Mickels secured a 5-2 second-leg win and a historic passage into the League Phase of Europe's top competition.
They became the second club from Azerbaijan to reach this stage of the Champions League in the last two seasons, after Qarabag last year. Qarabag, in 2017-18, represented the only other time a team from this nation had gone beyond the Champions League qualifiers.
