It's hard to tell if you've already recovered from the Champions League miracles of yesterday, but tonight the Europa League returned to the stadiums. From the first three matches that started at 8 p.m. Lithuanian time, the eyes of the largest number of fans turned to the only remaining English representative, "Manchester United." "The Red Devils" actually started the match against "Rostov" well and took the lead thanks to Henrikh Mkhitaryan's goal, which the Armenian scored after a pass from Zlatan Ibrahimovic. However, the Russians at home equalized at the beginning of the second half when Aleksandr Bukharov scored after a pass from Timofey Kalachev from the edge of the box. In the end, no more goals were scored, so the match ended in a draw. At another stadium in Brussels, "Anderlecht" took the lead against Nicosia's APOEL and did not give up the minimal advantage until the end of the match. Meanwhile, "Copenhagen" surprised Amsterdam's "Ajax" team with goals in the early moments of the game. However, the Dutch managed to equalize the score, but eventually Andreas Cornelius extended the lead for the Danish team. Later, five more matches were played. The most anticipated of them were the matches between the clubs "Lyon" and "Roma." Playing at home, the French managed to take the lead in the 8th minute after a precise strike from Mouctar Diakhaby, but shortly after Mohamed Salah restored the balance, and in the 33rd minute Federico Fazio put "Giallorossi" in front and they led after the first half. However, the second half of the match was started with an equalizing goal by Corentin Tolisso. Although the game was evenly balanced, the further attacks of "Lyon" were more effective than those of their opponents, and they took the lead after a precise strike from Nabil Fekir in the 74th minute. Finally, the visitors' defense completely fell apart and thanks to Alexandre Lacazette the French team built up a fairly comfortable lead. Also convincingly, the Belgian derby against "Gent" was won by the "Genk" club, who crushed their opponents 5-2 away. Meanwhile, the meeting of the representatives of Germany ended in a draw between "Schalke" and "Borussia of Monchengladbach."
