NK Rijeka - UEFA Cup 2006

The final European season for Rijeka before an agonizing crisis that would mark a three year absence for "Bijeli" (the whites) from international cups. Cyprus never seemed a dangerous place to visit football-wise, but it was right around 2006/7 that cypriot teams started growing into a decent European force (remember: later on, Anorthosis played Champions League, and Omonia had some notable games in Cup UEFA). Rijeka underestimated the opponent and paid a huge price for doing so.
