Neman host Vaduz at the Alcufer Stadium on Thursday in the second leg of the Europa Conference League, looking to finish the job.
The Belarusian side picked up a 2-1 victory in the first leg, having fought an early deficit.
Fabrizio Cavegn opened the scoring for the hosts in the 22nd minute before Yahor Zubovich equalized in the 29th minute for the visitors. Alimardon Shukurov then scored the winner for the Liechtenstein side in the 82nd minute as Neman secured a huge advantage going into the return leg.
Now, a draw would be enough for them to seal a place in the next round, whereas Vaduz need to beat them away from home to stand a chance of progressing.
