Ajax and Tottenham in demonstration, Roma caught – C3 – J1

First goal in the European Cup, for the former Paris Saint-Germain player!

On the occasion of the first day of the Europa League, Hugo Ekitike gave himself a little baptism by scoring a nice achievement. Except that it wasn’t enough for Eintracht Frankfurt to win, since Pavel Sulc equalized three minutes later in favor of Viktoria Plzeň. The Germans nevertheless regained a two-step lead with Eric Junior Dina-Ebimbe and Rasmus Kristensen, but they completely collapsed at the end (ahead of Prince Adu and Vaclav Jemelka) to concede a draw. Another favorite playing at home this Thursday evening, Roma also disappointed: the Italians thought they would beat Athletic Bilbao by capitalizing on a header from Artem Dovbykles, before seeing Aitor Paredes put the church back in the middle of the huge international village and the Basques return to Spain with a unit in their pocket.

Hollandaise sauce

Another reversal: led until 88^e and a penalty transformed by Osher Davida, Sporting Braga turned Maccabi Tel Aviv around in two movements (those of Bruma, who changed everything in a handful of seconds and a penalty). Tottenham meanwhile made the difference with Pape Matar Sarr, Brennan Johnson and Dominic Solanke ahead of Qarabağh despite the expulsion of Radu Drăgușin even before the quarter of an hour of play (and a penalty conceded, ultimately missed). For its part, Ajax Amsterdam signed one of the performances of the day: opposed to Beşiktaş, the Dutch put out a convincing and successful performance (like the achievements of Kian Fitz-Jim, Mika Godts and Kenneth Taylor ). Finally, Steaua Bucharest took care of its entry into the competition: the Romanians crushed Rigas at home with a double from Darius Olaru, the opener for Daniel Birligea and a final pawn scored by Marius Stefanescu.

It’s not worth a José Mourinho success.

Roma 1-1 Athletic Bilbao
