They left… hand in hand for the knockouts Atalanta and Sporting! The two teams drew 1-1 at the ‘Gewiss Stadium’ and combined with Rakow’s away win over Sturm Graz (0-1), they both secured qualification to the next round.

The “Bergamaski” entered the match stronger, they found the net in the 8th minute with Skamaka, but the Italian forward was exposed and his goal did not count. However, the same player opened the scoring a few minutes later, specifically in the 23rd minute, with 1-0 remaining until the break.

It was the visitors who took the upper hand at the start of the second half and found the answer. Because in the 56th minute, Gyokeres served and Edwards scored for 1-1. With the match until the finale having a crazy pace, but the result not changing and in the end being convenient for both teams.

At the same time, Rakov passed through Austria, winning 1-0 against Sturm Graz and… they overcame their opponents.

Sparta Prague, in turn, beat Betis 1-0 and set the 3rd group on fire. Because now the Andalusians stayed in first place with 9 points, but they are waiting for the result of Rangers-Aris Limassol to know if they will stay in it. The Czechs, for their part, who won with a goal from Haraslin, reached 7 points and hold the… European ticket in their hands.
