O second round of this Thursday’s Europa Leaguebetween nulls, defeats, controversies and family reunions, brought, above all, another memorable night of international football.
At Anfield the most sentimental encounter of the night took place. O Liverpool x Union St. Gilloise brought the Mac Allister brothers face to face. It was from the bank that Alexis began to “cross his fingers” at Kevinthanks to a goal after the break, scored by Dutchman Ryan Gravenberch.
After a much more balanced second half, confirmation of the victory came from a Portuguese man – Diogo Jota – who dispelled doubts and pointed out the 2-0already in compensation time.
With this result, the reds they are isolated leaders of Group E. Next up is Toulouse, who beat Lask Linz at home, also by the smallest margin.
Not Group H, Bayer Leverkusen continued their good season and, in Norway, they resolved the game in the first half, with two goals in the first 20 minutes (Frimpong and Tella) – Breivik still scored towards the end, but did not prevent the defeat (1-2). Even with this victory, the Germans continue to have company in first place; Qarabag won (0-1) at Hacken’s ground and, for that reason, they also have six points in two rounds.
For Israel there was the only null result of the night; with Djuricic and Sporar coming off the bench, Panathinaikos did not go beyond the draw against Maccabi Haifa and made it Group F even more exciting. With the home victory (1-0)Villarreal tied, in the standings, with Rennes (who had two penalties reversed by VAR) in second place, with three points.
