Charleroi frustre Hammarby in the first stage of the conference league in Stockholm

Hammarby failed to ensure that the home advantage counts during the first leg of their second equality of the UEFA conference league (UECL) with a round qualification, pulling 0-0 with Charleroi in a match that saw the Swedish team create the majority of the opportunities.

The two parties made their European bow for the campaign and none could hit the ground running at 3arena, before Hammarby moved to a pace after more than half an hour.

Paulos Abraham and Hampus Skoglund both unearthed goal efforts, but the two were refused by Martin Delavalee for the purpose of Charleroi.

Despite less possession, the finalists of Alsvenskan had seven shots on one of Chareloi in the first 45 minutes, while the winners of the European Jupiler Pro League qualifiers offered no real test for the goalkeeper of Bajen Warner Hahn.

Hahn was finally forced to action on time, dealing with a strike from Etienne Camara. This chance sparked Hammarby in life, but neither Shaquille Pinas nor Victor Eriksson could force a breakthrough.

10 minutes of time, a section of the home crowd was standing when Nahir Besara tried his luck with a wide free kick, only for the ball to get the crossbar little.

The local team threw everyone forward late and had a penalty complaint moved away from the end of the match, but no late winner in Stockholm means that everything will be for the return leg in Belgium next Thursday.
