The first phase of the 2024/25 Europa League has started with a bang. The first two matches have begun and five goals have already been scored: in Alkmaar, van Bommel jr. catches up with Elsfborg (both are Roma’s euro rivals), while another euro rival, Porto (who will face Lazio later) is losing on the pitch of Bodo/Glimt, dragged by an unleashed Hauge. The former Milan player scored and assisted to overturn the initial advantage of the guests scored by the talented Omorodion.
