Porto eliminate Lazio

The Europa League, unlike the Champions League, closes its first knockout rounds today (round of 32) and, in addition to the results of the Spanish teams, we must highlight the elimination of Lazio in a very difficult crossing with Porto. In today’s match Taremi and Uribe came from behind Immobile’s initial goal and, although Cataldi equalized in the 95th minute, the 2-1 first leg win for the Portuguese meant that Sarri’s team was left out of Europe.

The other Italian team that played at 18:45, Atalanta had better luck and sentenced the 1-2 they got in the first leg with a 0-3 thanks to goals from Maehle and Malinovsky, which made a double. Olympiacos have competed at a high level in both games but it has not been enough to beat one of the greats of Italy.

Goodbye to Celtic in the Conference

Meanwhile, in the third European competition, the Conference League, Celtic have been eliminated by the surprising Bodo/Glimt. In the first leg they already achieved a 1-3 in Glasgow and today they only had to confirm that superiority by winning 2-0.

For their part, the three favorites that played in this first round of the afternoon, PSV, Marseille and Leicester, advanced to the round against Maccabi Tel Aviv, Qarabag and Randers respectively. The most even match was Partiza-Sparta Prague and the Serbs won (and qualified) 2-1 with Ricardo Gomes as the protagonist scoring two goals and getting sent off in the 68th minute.
