This week began the UEFA Europa League battles. Initially, 13 matches were played. "Manchester United", which as always attracted a lot of attention, started poorly. Jose Mourinho's team unexpectedly lost to Rotterdam's "Feyenoord", who scored a winning goal by Tonny Vilhena. This result certainly adds complexity to the final standings in Group A. Another interesting end of the match was recorded in Italy, where "Sassuolo" defeated Bilbao's "Athletic" 3-0. However, the score was tied for almost an hour. Nevertheless, Polas Lirola, Gregoire Defrel, and Matteo Politano scored goals. Meanwhile, another "Serie A" representative "Roma" failed to beat Plzen's "Viktoria" as the match ended in a 1-1 draw. A remarkable victory was achieved by St. Petersburg's "Zenit", who was trailing 0-3 halfway through the second half. However, the Russians managed to score four goals in the final moments of the match and defeat Tel Aviv's "Maccabi". Later in the evening, 11 more matches took place. Žydrūnas Karčemarskas played the entire match, and the team he represented, "Osmanlispor", defeated Bucharest's "Steaua" 2-0. A tough match was expected between "Nice" and Gelsenkirchen's "Schalke" teams. In this match, the Germans triumphed thanks to Baba Rahman's goal. Milan's "Inter" became a small sensation as they lost at home to Beersheba's "Hapoel" from Israel by a score of 2-0. The second English representative, "Southampton", performed better and defeated Prague's "Sparta" in front of their fans. Charlie Austin scored a brace in this match, and Jay Rodriguez scored as well.
