Six-star Fiorentina, absolute Plzen, “wrecked” Besiktas

The “three out of three” that brings them close to qualification was celebrated by Victoria Plzen, who beat Dinamo 1-0 in Zagreb and became, together with Fenerbahce and PAOK, the three teams with absolute victories. A great performance and a wide victory for Fiorentina, who crushed Čukaritski 6-0 at the “Artemio Franki”. Second defeat and… hard times for Besiktas, who lost 3-1 to Bodo Glimt in Norway.

3rd group

The “three out of three” that brings them close to qualifying and in fact as the first of the group, was celebrated in Zagreb by Victoria Plzen. The Czechs beat Dinamo 1-0 and became, together with Fenerbahce and PAOK, the three teams with absolute victories. The only goal that decided the match was scored by Hori in the 69th minute with a penalty. For the Croatians, this was their second defeat and it puts them in… trouble.

4th group

The first victory in the group – and what a victory – was scored by Bodo Glimt, which was imposed by Besiktas 3-1. For its part, the Turkish team was left without three points, which makes it difficult to try to occupy one of the first two places, which lead to the knockouts. The Norwegian team opened the scoring with Grenbek in the 29th minute and doubled their goals with Mubagna in the 58th minute. The “icing on the cake” was put by Satnes in the 88th minute. The final score was settled in stoppage time with an own goal by Brende Maw.

A maiden double in Bosnia, which puts them at the top of the group with roommate Aston Villa on 6 points, was won by Legia Warsaw. The Polish side found themselves behind on the half-hour mark through Bibija’s goal, but they were lucky to equalize three minutes later with an own goal from Jakovlevic. In the second half, Kramer completed the turnaround in the 63rd minute to give his team the win.

6th group

Fiorentina, who celebrated their first victory in the group, threw a party with… Cukaritsky as a guest at “Artemio Franki”. The “viola” crushed their opponent with a score of 6-0, with Beltran scoring the first two goals (6′ and 10′) and Icone (29′) scoring the third. For the Serbs, who suffered their third defeat in as many matches, things got even worse in the 36th minute as Subotic was sent off. In the second half, the “violas” did not slow down and scored three more goals with Sotil (66′), Martines (73′) and Lopez (83′), who shaped the final result.

In the other game, which will be… forgotten very quickly, Genk and Ferencvaros neutralized each other and remained at 0-0. The chances in front of the two teams were few and with the point they got, they continue to walk hand in hand, having… Fiorentina in company. The Belgians finished the match with ten men, due to Arocondare being sent off in the last minute.
