The first day of the new Europa League ends with some surprising results, such as Porto’s defeat on the pitch of the difficult Bodoo/Glimt. The former AC Milan player Hauge scores a brace and drags the Norwegians, just as van Bommel junior is decisive in AZ’s victory over Elfsborg.
Splendid debut for Lazio: the team from the capital, thanks to an authoritative first half, wins 3-0 in Hamburg against Dynamo Kiev (Dia also scores a brace). Manchester United’s journey starts badly, held to a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford by Twente: former Inter player Eriksen is answered by former Atalanta player Lammers. Slavia Prague and Galatasaray win well, beating Ludogorets and PAOK respectively (Mauro Icardi also scores, Osimhen still dry). Anderlecht also does well, drawing with Nice and Herning.
