The “Red Devils” also experience an unfortunate game at Real Sociedad. An old acquaintance plays a lot for the AC Florence.
Manchester United was also unable to free himself from the crisis in the Europa League. The team of coach Rúben Amorim did not get past a 1-1 (0-0) at Real Sociedad San Sebastian despite leadership. From the last seven competitive games there were only two victories for the “Red Devils”.
Joshua Zirkzee put the guests in the lead in the 57th minute, but Mikel Oyarzabal equalized with a penalty (70th). In the second leg in home old Trafford, United still has every chance of progressing.
Az Alkmaar celebrated an important victory in the round of 16 first leg. The Dutch first division team won 1-0 (1-0) against Tottenham Hotspur at home and thus has a good chance of moving into the quarter -finals. Alkmaar could meet Eintracht Frankfurt there if the Hesse prevail against Ajax Amsterdam.
The only goal of the evening fell in a curious way: Tottenham’s Lucas Bergvall wanted to clarify a corner, but hit the ball unhappily and transported it into his own network in a high arc (18th). Bayern loan in Mathys Tel stood in the starting eleven at the Spurs, but remained unobtrusive and was replaced at half-time.
The German international Robin Gosens has again strongly played his class at Conference League, but was not able to prevent his AC Florence defeat. In the round of 16 at Panathinaikos Athens, the Italian first division team lost 2: 3 (2: 2), although the German international shone with two templates.
Florence fell behind: Karol Swiderski (5th) and Nemanja Maksimovic (19th) met for the hosts. But Gosens initiated the quick response from the Fiorentina. First he put on Lucas Beltran (20th), three minutes later he found Nicolo Fagiolo (23rd) with a direct acceptance, who scored to compensate.
After the break, Tetê (55.) made the winning goal of the Greeks. Gosens had already shone for Florence last weekend: the 30-year-old scored the 1-0 win against US Lecce and took out a penalty.
