And several Russians took to the field at the same time. It turned out different.

The group stage of the Europa League is coming to an end. On November 30, the fifth round meetings were held. We talk about the most exciting events and matches on game day.

Atalanta, with Miranchuk in the lineup, secured the round of 16 of the Europa League

Atalanta has already guaranteed itself a place in the Europa League playoffs. But in the match against Sporting they could have secured first place, which would give them a place in the round of 16.

The result satisfied both teams. Atalanta guaranteed first place and the Portuguese a place in the round of 16. It should be noted that in the last match Bergamasco’s Russian midfielder Alexey Miranchuk appeared on the field. For more than 20 minutes on the field he did not score any effective action.

Details of the meeting with the participation of the Russian midfielder:

Miranchuk’s team won the group in League of Legends. But I almost missed it after the Russian one came out.

Brighton made playoffs, AEK did not help former RPL foreign players

Brighton qualified for the European Cup for the first time in history. And he immediately made the playoffs! Roberto De Zerbi’s team came to Greece, to AEK and won. The only goal of the second half was scored by forward Joao Pedro from a penalty.

The victory guaranteed Brighton at least second place in the group. AEK was without the help of former CSKA midfielder Steven Zuber and former Spartak striker Ezequiel Ponce. The Greeks will no longer compete for the Europa League playoffs, but can qualify for the Conference League.

Liverpool reached the playoffs without problems. Is Klopp going for the trophy?

Liverpool received Austrian LASK at home on matchday five. It is not the most formidable rival, although in the teams’ first match the “reds” even lost as the match progressed. But the scenario was not repeated at Anfield. In the 15th minute, thanks to the efforts of Cody Gakpo and Luis Díaz, Liverpool led 2:0. Mohamed Salah continued the rout in the second half and Gakpo scored a double.

Jurgen Klopp’s side secured a place in the last 16 after finishing in first place. In 2016, Liverpool, led by the German, played in the Europa League final, but lost to Sevilla. Will Klopp lift the trophy this time?

Mourinho advances to the Europa League final again. Lukaku scores another goal

Last season, Roma reached the Europa League final, but lost to Sevilla. Now José Mourinho’s team is moving towards the trophy again. In the last round, the Romans tied in Switzerland with Servette. Roma striker Romelu Lukaku scored the fourth goal in the current UEFA Europa League. The Italians made it to the playoffs of the tournament, but which round they will advance to (1/8 or 1/16 final) will be known after the sixth round.

Marseille and Ajax played the best game of the day

Ajax are having problems in all competitions this season. But the games against Marseille are another story. In the first match the teams tied 3-3. And now Marseille won 4:3! At least for the vivid emotions it is worth thanking the French and the Netherlands. Curiously, Marseille took the lead three times and Ajax came back three times. But in the end, Aubameyang’s penalty goal in the 90+3 minute gave the Provençals the victory.

As a result of the match, Marseille secured their place in the playoffs and the Amsterdam team lost the opportunity to fight for the Europa League. But Ajax can still advance to the next round of the Conference League.

Kokorin was left without the Europa League playoffs

Cypriot Aris was left with the possibility of progressing to the next round of the Europa League if he beat Rangers away from home. But Alexei Shpilevsky’s team failed to get the three points. Even the assistance of Alexander Kokorin did not help. The teams ended up drawing 1:1. Aris lost its chances of making the playoffs, but can still be in the conference league, but the Rangers will compete for the next round in the sixth round.

Kokorin’s assistance was great:

Kokorin gave a brilliant assist in the European Cup! He outwitted the entire defense with a single pass. Video

“Karabakh” with Lunev almost ruined his life. But he was saved in the 90th minute + 5.

Karabakh went to Norway for the most important match against Molde, finishing second in the group. To secure a place in the playoffs, the Azerbaijani team had to win. And the first half was successful for Qarabag: Juninho scored in the 12th minute. But in the 82nd and 87th minutes Aghdam’s team gave in and conceded twice. The situation has become difficult. Molde overtook Karabakh in the standings and became a favorite for the playoffs. But the visitors were saved by Bahlul Mustafazadeh in the 90+5 minute, leveling the score.

Now Karabakh and Molde have seven points each, but the Azerbaijanis are ahead thanks to their 2:1 victory in the first match. To reach the playoffs, Aghdam’s team does not need to play worse than the Norwegians. By the way, in the last match the Russian goalkeeper Andrei Lunev spent 90 minutes at Qarabag.
