On Thursday, the remaining VI round matches of the UEFA Europa League were played.
A stunning 0-4 victory away against Dublin's "Shamrock Rovers" did not help London's "Tottenham" footballers to advance to the next stage of the tournament as in the next group match, Salonika's PAOK and Kazan's "Rubin" teams managed to draw, which was unfavorable to the English team.
The match in Greece ended 1-1, and unexpectedly, goalkeeper Giedrius Arlauskis had to step onto the field because the main "Rubin" goalkeeper, Sergei Ryzhikov, was sent off with a red card in the 15th minute.
However, the visiting team with the Lithuanian in the lead managed to achieve a favorable result and secure the second place in Group A.
Things didn't go well for another English team, "Birmingham," which, like "Tottenham," failed to make it to the sixteenth-finals even after collecting 10 points.
