Midtjylland – Celtic – 3:1
Goals: Erlich (34), Gogorza (35), Frantzulino (41) – Hatate (81, pen.)

In Denmark, the hosts did not leave the opponent a single chance. Three goals in seven minutes in the first half effectively removed the question of a winner. Ehrlich and Gogorza made a quick double for the team, and Franzulino brought the score to a crushing level before halftime. The only ray of light for Celtic was the converted penalty by Hatate, which only reduced the deficit. As a result, Midtjylland won 3:1.

Basel – Steaua – 3:1
Goals: Shaqiri (19, penalty, 74), Salah (89) – Olaru (58)
Withdrawal: Tyrnovashu, 12

The Swiss took advantage of the numerical advantage obtained in the 12th minute after Tyrnovash was sent off. Shaqiri opened the score from the penalty spot, but Steaua did not give up even after ten minutes and equalized thanks to Olar. But Basel’s onslaught was too powerful: Shaqiri’s double and Salah’s late goal secured the hosts three points.

Salzburg – Go Ahead Eagles – 2:0
Goals: Vertessen (59), Terzic (80)

The Austrians could not break through the Dutch defense for a long time, but after the break everything fell into place. First Vertessen opened the score, and then Terzic put the finishing touches – he also assisted the first goal. Salzburg calmly brought the match to a logical victory.

Malmö – Panathinaikos – 0:1
Goal: Djuricic (85)

For a long time, there were zeros on the scoreboard. Malmö could have taken the lead, but Swiderski did not convert the penalty. In the end, in the end, Djuricic brought victory to the guests with a single accurate shot. Panathinaikos took three important points from Sweden, and Malmo was left with nothing.

Dinamo Zagreb – Celta – 0:3
Goals: Duran (4, 44), Dominguez (28, ag.)

A real show of strength from Spain’s Celta. Already in the fourth minute, Duran opened the scoring, and later Dominguez’s own goal doubled the guests’ lead. Before the half-time whistle, the same Duran scored a double, turning the second half of the meeting into a formality. 0:3 — a confident away victory for the Spaniards, who thanks to this moved up in the standings.

nice – Freiburg – 1:3
Goals: Kevin (25) – Manzambi (29), Grifo (39, penalty), Shergant (42)

In the second half, the “eagles” attacked, but in vain – 1:3. The Germans, with ten points, firmly established themselves at the top of the table.

Utrecht – Porto – 1:1
Goals: Rodriguez (48) – Sainz (66)
Withdrawal: Barkas (70, straight red)

After the draw of the standard, Rodriguez sent the ball into the net, but the joy did not last long – Sainz equalized the score. In addition, goalkeeper Barkas received a red card, leaving the hosts down to ten. Despite this, backup goalkeeper Brouwer saved the team with several saves.

Red Star – Lille – 1:0
Goal: Arnautovych (85, pen.)

The Belgrade team won a minimal but extremely important victory. The only goal in the match was scored by Marko Arnautovic from a penalty at the end of the game. Crvena Zvezda recovered from their defeat in the last round, while Lille missed out on a chance to cement themselves in the top half of the table.

Sturm Graz – Nottingham Forest – 0:0

The only goalless match of the first half. The Austrians held out against the English, although they could have conceded: Morgan Gibbs-White missed a penalty in the middle of the first half. Sturm picked up their first point after defeat at Celtic, while Nottingham missed the chance to close in on the leaders’ zone.
