AS Monaco sink completely at Trabzonspor, Manchester United snatch victory, Real Sociedad qualified

0

After Stade Rennais, qualified for the round of 16, and FC Nantes, defeated for the second time in a row against Friborg, AS Monaco crossed swords with Trabzonspor on behalf of the fourth day of the Europa League. On the lawn of the Turkish formation, the men of Philippe Clément, second in group H, started this meeting perfectly. Dominating, the Principality club created several situations for itself but neither Embolo (14th, 23rd), nor Ben Yedder (16th), nor Camara (20th) managed to surprise Cakir, vigilant on his line. Worse still, the Monegasque formation was completely scuttled shortly before the break. Rather reassuring so far, Alexandre Nübel was completely holed up on one of his clearances by throwing directly at Sarr, running in the same direction…

An improbable CSC (1-0, 44th) then allowing the Turkish team to take the lead at the break. Upon returning from the locker room, the scenario worsened a little more for the Asemists. On a corner hit on the left side by Bakasetas, Vitor Hugo, who had just come into play, was ahead of the defenders of the Rock to deceive, with a header, the last bastion of ASM (2-0, 48th). Stunned, the Monegasques were a little more a few moments later when Bardhi, on a free kick slipped under the wall, added to the score (3-0, 57th). Taking advantage of a new individual error from Vanderson, Trézéguet even added a fourth goal in stride (4-0, 69th). With this heavy defeat, AS Monaco fall to third place in their group and finds himself under pressure before moving on the lawn of Ferencvaros, on October 27th.

Bad operation for ASM, Real Sociedad qualified!

In the other poster of this group H, Ferencvaros consolidated its leading position by winning by a short header against Red Star Belgrade (2-1). In the other meetings of this evening, PSV Eindhoven, carried by the achievements of Gutierrez (9th), Veerman (15th, 55th), Sangaré (34th) and El-Ghazi (85th), strolled against FC Zurich ( 5-0) and heads, a little more, towards the 16th finals. Opposed to HJK Helsinki, Ludogorets Razgrad has, for its part, logically imposed (2-0) and returns to three lengths of Betis, already qualified in group C.

In the last two places in Pool D, Union Berlin and Malmö FF were neutralized for a long time but Knoche, on penalty, finally offered victory to the German club (1-0). After the draw between Feyenoord Rotterdam and FC Midtjylland (2-2), Lazio, for their part, did not take advantage of the opportunity to regain the lead in group F. Reduced to ten, the Roman club is, first, handed over to his number one weapon: Ciro Immobile, penalty scorer just before the break. On returning from the locker room, Boving put the two teams back to back but Pedro gave the advantage to the Biancocelesti. At the end of the match, Boving finally offered himself a double to allow his team to snatch the draw. An ultra tight group F where all formations total 5 points. Finally, in Group E, Real Sociedad ensured their qualification against Sheriff Tiraspol (2-0) while Cristiano Ronaldo’s Red Devils snatched a precious success (1-0) against Omonia Nicosia thanks to a late achievement by McTominay (90+3rd).
