Strasbourg wins again and takes top spot in the Conference League. A goal from Godo is enough for Rosenoir’s team to beat Aberdeen and secure access to the round of 16 with a round to spare. The French also had a late penalty saved, but defended their lead and remained unbeaten on 13 points. Shakhtar Donetsk takes second place. Arda Turan’s men beat Hamrun Spartans with goals from the very young Brazilian talents Lucas Meirelles and Isaque Silva, both born in 2007. The usual Jonatan Braut Brunes, cousin of Haaland, leads Rakow on a penalty against Zrinjski: for him it is the seventh match in a row to score in all competitions. Now the Polish club is third. Crystal Palace tarmacs Shelbourne. Lausanne, Fiorentina’s next opponent, draws in Finland against Kups. Historic Breidablik – In the 6.45pm matches, Aek Athens won 2-1 against the Turkish side Samsunspor: it was the first defeat for Reis’ team. Sparta Prague defeats Craiova and Rayo Vallecano beats Jagiellonia. Az Alkmaar had few problems against Drita, while Icelandic Breidablik achieved their first historic success in Europe: they finished 3-1 against Shamrock Rovers. In full injury time, Jonsson even scores from midfield, taking advantage of goalkeeper McGinty’s exit for the last action of the match.
