The big blow of the evening came from Galatasray, who dominated Tottenham (3-2). Lazio continued their perfect run while Ajax Amsterdam suffered a card and Manchester United finally won.

The shock turned to Galatasaray's advantage. Between an Istanbul club undefeated in Europe and Spurs in the same position at kick-off, the poster was lively in the boiling atmosphere of Rams Park. With a superb recovery from 20 meters, Yunus Akgün opened the scoring for the locals (1-0.6th) and if Lankshear managed to equalize for the visitors (1-1, 18th), Victor Osimhen offered himself a welcome double (31st, 39th) to put his team in front. At 10 after the expulsion of Lankshear (69th), Tottenham came back to the score via Solenke's goal (3-2, 69th) but conceded their first defeat in the competition.

The only team to have 4 victories in 4 matches, Lazio snatched their success in the 92nd minute thanks to a goal from the indefatigable Pedro (2-1). Just below Lazio in the standings, we find Ajax Amsterdam which is among the few undefeated teams, like Eintracht Francort, who defeated Slavia Prague (1-0), Anderlecht, held in check by Rigas (1-1). ), and Athletic Bilbao, who won at Ludogorest (1-2).

Francesco Farioli's Ajax, therefore, crushed Maccabi Tel-Aviv at the Johan Cruyff Arena (5-0). With 13 goals scored and only one conceded, the Ajacide team has both the best attack and the best defense in this 2024-2025 Europa League. For its part, after 3 consecutive draws, Manchester United obtained their first European success – and extended their invincibility under Ruud van Nistelrooy – against PAOK Salonika thanks to Amad Diallo's double. Expected among the big teams in the competition, AS Roma was upset on the field of Union Saint-Gilloise (1-1) and confirmed its sluggish start with only 4 points in 4 matches.
