The Europa League got off to a spectacular start - primarily thanks to 18-year-old Hoffenheim boy Max Merstedt.
In the 90th minute, the German club achieved a draw away to Mitjiland (1:1) with a goal that deserves the "Puškaš" award for the best goal of the year.
The super-attractive way in which Mersted shook the net in Denmark will be recounted for a long time.
The first evening of the Europa League was also marked by Manchester United, but once again in a negative sense - this time Erik ten Haag failed to defeat Twente, the club where he started and ended his playing career.
The match at "Old Trafford" ended 1:1 - Christian Eriksen gave the "Devils" the lead with a great goal in the 35th minute, and the equalizing goal in the 68th perhaps best describes today's United.
The defender of Twente, Bart van Roij practically dragged the ball 70 meters, without any of the local players taking it from him, after which it reached Sam Lamers, who easily beat Andrea Onana.
It was expected that Lazio would have a tough job in Hamburg, where they were met by Dynamo from Kiev, but the club from Rome roared through the north of Germany - 3:0.
Our Adam Marušić played a good match, and the goals for the "Biancoseleste" were scored by Bulaj Dia (two) and Fisajo Dele-Bašira.
Galatasaray and PAOK played a hot derby in Istanbul - 3:1. The Turkish team was leading 1:0 after Abdul Baba's own goal, Janis Konstantelias equalized, and the hosts achieved victory through Jusun Akgun in the 75th and Mauro Icardi in the 95th.
