On matchday seven, Red Star Belgrade (1-0 against Malmo) and Feyenoord (3-0 against Sturm Graz) also secured victories

Lyon, Aston Villa, and Freiburg have mathematically qualified for the round of 16 with one matchday to spare. Three narrow victories: former Roma player Maitland-Niles is the match winner for Fonseca in the away game against Young Boys, Jadon Sancho launches Emery in the game against Fenerbahce, and Matanovic brings joy to Freiburg against Maccabi Tel Aviv. Dejan Stankovic also wins by a narrow margin: Red Star wins 1-0 against Malmo. Feyenoord scored three against Sturm Graz: the Dutch will play for a place in the playoffs in the last round. Betis suffered a surprise defeat at Paok: the Spaniards lost 2-0. Porto equalized in the 90th minute against Viktoria Plzen, 1-1. A spectacular 3-3 draw between Brann and Midtjylland: the Norwegians equalized in the tenth minute of stoppage time thanks to a penalty from Soltvedt. The brace from former Sassuolo and Bologna player Erlic, who plays as a defender, was to no avail.
