Roma had won their previous encounters, including the inaugural Conference League final, so there was an element of revenge in the Rottedram air for Arne Slot&#8217;s side. However, it was still the opening leg, but Feyenoord, through Igor Paix\u00e3o, took a half-time lead.<\/p>\n<p>But that advantage was short-lived when Romelu Lukaku equalised just after the hour mark. The marksman has only failed to score in one of his last 18 Europa League appearances, with the Belgian international netting 21 times across that spell. Since the 2009\/10 Europa League rebrand, only Radamel Falcao and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (both on 30) have scored more goals than him (25).<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Auba-ssance is here<\/strong><\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u23f1\ufe0f 64\u2019 ???????????????!!! \u26bd\ufe0f\u26bd\ufe0f\u26bd\ufe0f\u26bd\ufe0f\u26bd\ufe0f<\/p>\n<p>Aubameyang breaks the deadlock ??<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ShakhtarOM?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ShakhtarOM<\/a> | 0\ufe0f\u20e3 &#8211; 1\ufe0f\u20e3 | ?\u26aa <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/UdCSNmza7u\">pic.twitter.com\/UdCSNmza7u<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Olympique de Marseille ?? ??

Tonight, he bagged his 30th since the Europa League was rebranded. The much-travelled Gabonese striker put Marseille ahead before Shakhtar Donetsk defender Mykola Matviyenko immediately restored parity. From a personal standpoint, Aubameyang moved alongside Brighton forward Jo\u00e3o Pedro atop this season&#8217;s Europa League golden boot standing; both are on six goals.<\/p>\n<p>Gennaro Gattuso&#8217;s men, though, will take a 2-1 lead back to southern France as substitute Iliman Ndiaye produced a 90th-minute winner. Gennaro Gattuso&#8217;s men looked on course to be taking a 2-1 lead back to southern France as substitute Iliman Ndiaye though he produced a 90th-minute winner. But in this crazy game at the Volksparkstadion, Eguinaldo ensured the spoils were shared when he breached Marseille&#8217;s defence three minutes into stoppage time.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Incredible Icardi<\/strong><\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"tr\" dir=\"ltr\">??? ?????????. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/GSvACS?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#GSvACS<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/UEL?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#UEL<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/cp5Jp7rJ33\">pic.twitter.com\/cp5Jp7rJ33<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Galatasaray SK (@GalatasaraySK) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GalatasaraySK\/status\/1758216699441029558?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 15, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The early game between Galatasaray and Sparta Prague had everything: five goals and two sendings off. Okan Buruk&#8217;s side went in front twice in the end-to-end affair, but their visitors pegged them back on each occasion. With both teams seemingly settling for a point, man-of-the-man Mauro Icardi had other ideas. Unlike in Germany, he netted a 90th-minute winner. Icardi, who also registered two assists, hasn&#8217;t always loved this competition. After scoring just one goal in his first 11 Europa League appearances, he&#8217;s now scored in each of his last three appearances, but that being said, his last two efforts came in November 2016 when playing for Inter.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Les Rouge et Noirs v I Rossoneri<\/strong><\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">CHEEKY LIKE RENNES ??<\/p>\n<p>Stade Rennais secured a full-page feature in La Gazzetta dello Sport to mark the anticipated encounter against <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/acmilan?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@acmilan<\/a>.\u2764\ufe0f?<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Pride, passion and fervor are united tonight at the San Siro.

Both teams share the iconic red and black colour scheme. The visitors donned in white couldn&#8217;t mark this first-ever meeting with victory as Milan &#8212; with three Frenchmen in their starting lineup &#8212; ran out of 3-0 winners.<\/p>\n<p>Ruben Loftus-Cheek netted a brace. It was the first time he scored twice in a single Europa League game since bagging a hat-trick for boyhood club Chelsea against BATE in October 2018. Rafael Le\u00e3o, assisted by skipper Th\u00e9o Hern\u00e1ndez, rounded off the scoring. It&#8217;s worth noting that Milan, who only scored five times in their ill-fated Champions League group campaign, are missing the Europa League from their illustrious trophy collection.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Portugal&#8217;s mixed evening<\/strong><\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"pt\" dir=\"ltr\">De regresso \u00e0 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EuropaLeague?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@EuropaLeague<\/a> com uma vit\u00f3ria na Su\u00ed\u00e7a \u2705<\/p>\n<p>? 2.\u00aa m\u00e3o, 22\/2 \u00e0s 20h00, em Alvalade ? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/WVI1PuzliN\">pic.twitter.com\/WVI1PuzliN<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Sporting CP (@SportingCP) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SportingCP\/status\/1758226656248856694?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 15, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>There has been a lot of talk about the recent performances of Portuguese football clubs in European competitions. A series of underwhelming results has led to a decline in their coefficient ranking. Therefore, the Primeira Liga top guns must go deep in their respective competitions this season. Porto face Arsenal in the Champions League, while rivals Benfica, Sporting, and Braga were in action this evening.<\/p>\n<p>Sporting had a good start to their restarted campaign as they returned from Switzerland with an impressive 1-3 victory over Young Boys. Viktor Gy\u00f6keres was among the goalscorers. However, Braga suffered a heavy defeat at home as Qaraba\u011f dominated them with a 4-2 win. Abdellah Zoubir stole the show by netting twice and creating another goal.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, Benfica left it late to beat tournament surprise package Toulouse at the Est\u00e1dio da Luz, with \u00c1ngel Di Mar\u00eda scoring a pair of penalties either side of Mikkel Desler&#8217;s leveller to secure a 2-1 win. Success further maintained an impressive run in front of their own supporters. Benfica are now unbeaten in their 27 home matches since the Europa League was rebranded. Metalist Kharkiv, playing a UEFA Cup fixture in December 2008, remains the last away team in this competition to win in Benfica&#8217;s backyard.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/\"><strong>Latest football news<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football betting tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best betting sites<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/best-free-bet-offers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best free bet offers<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/accumulator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football accumulator tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>European club football continues its resumption with the Europa League knockout play-off round first legs.
