AS Roma became one of the clubs to progress to the last 16 of the UEFA Europa League after Thursday night’s games.
Roma had met Feyenoord with the Dutch giants taking the lead through Santiago Giménez but Lorenzo Pellegrini drew the Giallorossi level just 10 minutes later with a wonder strike from outside the penalty area.
Neither side was able to land a meaningful blow thereafter, with their aggregate score of 2-2 leading to an additional half-hour of play. Romelu Lukaku missed in the shootout but Nicola Zalewski went on to clinch a 4-2 victory after misses from David Hancko and Alireza Jahanbakhsh.
Marseille booked their place in the knockouts under new manager Jean-Louis Gasset by downing Shakhtar Donetsk 3-1.
Heorhiy Sudakov handed the Ukrainian champions an early lead from the penalty spot before Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang levelled for the hosts. Gasset’s charges went on to rack up two goals in eight second-half minutes, first through Ismaila Sarr’s close-range volley and Geoffrey Kondogbia adding the other.
