Find the first results of this Thursday evening’s matches, counting for the first day of the Europa League group stage.
Before the clash between Ajax Amsterdam and Olympique de Marseille, two representatives from France opened the ball during this first day of the Europa League group stage. Stade Rennais, which now has its napkin ring in the competition, faced Maccabi Haifa, another team experienced on the European scene.
And the formation of Bruno Genesio held its place by signing a very encouraging success at Roazhon Park (3-0). There was no need to arrive late at the stadium since the Breton club found the opening through Blas after a few seconds! (1-0, 1st). Truffert then made the break after half an hour of play (2-0, 31st), before the young Yildirim, established on the attacking front to replace Kalimuendo, definitively sealed his team’s success by finding the way nets after returning from the locker room (3-0, 56th). A job well done.
Toulouse resists Union Saint-Gilloise
For its part, Toulouse carried out a good operation by collecting a point on the lawn of Union Saint-Gilloise, European revelation of last season (1-1). Téfécé took the lead in stoppage time in the first period thanks to Dallinga (0-1, 45th+3). A goal from Amoura allowed the locals to resurface at the start of the last half hour (1-1, 69th), but Toulouse resisted well against the club from the Brussels suburbs to retain this precious point, in a bubbling end to the match where Logan Costa left his teammates at ten (90th+4). Without consequence. Toulouse obtains an encouraging result for its comeback in the European Cup.
