Europa League Fixtures & Results
Partizan 1-0 Shakhtar
Lineups & Stats
CFR Cluj 0-3 PSV
Already qualified PSV maintained their strong record in Group K by rounding their campaign off with a strong away victory in Romania.
Danko Lazovic’s penalty after 18 minutes was the first blow to the hosts, who had already been assured of bottom spot after a run of four successive losses in the competition.
The home side’s pain was only increased in the second period, with Nordin Amrabat striking the killer second blow with around 20 minutes remaining. In stoppage time the same player added a third.
Although this was essentially a meaningless fixture, it was played in a robust manner, with a number of yellow cards flashed by French referee Said Ennjimi.

Partizan 1-0 Shakhtar
Lineups & Stats
UEFA Cup winners Shakhtar Donetsk had already secured first place in Group J prior to Wednesday’s fixture, so they will not be overly concerned about their loss to Partizan, who picked up their first win of the group stage.
A goal in the sixth minute from Lamine Diarra proved to be the difference between the sides, with Partizan completing their campaign boasting only the three points they accrued in this fixture. Shakhtar, meanwhile, can look forward to the competition’s resumption next year.

Sparta Prague 0-3 Copenhagen
Lineups & Stats
Copenhagen produced a manful display to bustle their way past Sparta Prague and into the last 32 of the Europa League.
Dame N'Doye was to be the visiting side’s hero, netting a brace in the first half to turn the screw on the Czech outfit. When Jesper Gronkjaer converted a penalty just nine minutes into the second half, it was lights out for Sparta, whose frustration was summed up by the red card awarded to Manuel Pamic on the hour mark.

Nacional 5-1 Austria Vienna
Lineups & Stats
Portuguese outfit Nacional may have been comprehensively eliminated prior to the evening’s fixture, but they did their best to save face with a convincing win over Austria Vienna, who finish bottom of Group L.
Schumacher actually put the visiting side ahead midway through the first half, though their advantage was to be brief as Ruben Micael quickly levelled matters. Ten minutes later Mateus would give the hosts a lead they would not relinquish.
A crazy nine minute second half spell would see Micael add his second and further strikes arrive from Zarko Tomasevic and Felipe Lopez as the visiting side capitulated to an embarrassing defeat.
