Already victorious in Serbia in the first leg (1-0), AS Monaco left nothing to chance. To open the way, an opening brace from Kevin Volland, added to an own goal by Rodic and a close goal from the insatiable Volland.
But the Monegasques did not finish at the top of their group because Ferencvaros, beaten by the Turks of Trabzonspor (1-0), were better in direct comparisons: victory in Monaco, draw in Hungary.
Nantes fulfilled the contract
Meanwhile, FC Nantes have fulfilled their contract by going to win at Piraeus, on the Olympiakos lawn, last in group G. Two goals at the end of the game, by Mostafa Mohamed and Ludovic Blas, will allow the Canaries to play a “16. ° final “by C3 against a eliminated by C1.
The suspense, however, lasted until the end of seven minutes of injury time of the other match of group G, between the team B of the leaders Friborg, already qualified, and the Azeris of Qarabag (1-1), who tried everything but there they will manage to be donated to the Europa League Conference.
Regrets for Rennes
Last French club involved in C3, Rennes could not do better than Fenerbahce. A logical draw therefore against the Cypriots of Larnaca, while the Turks are satisfied with a sufficient draw with Slovacko (1-1). They end up two points clear of the British.
In Group E, Manchester United also failed to finish first due to an insufficient victory (1-0) at Real Sociedad. It will therefore be a barrier for the Red Devils, while the Basques are already in the round of 16.
The notable elimination is Lazio Roma, beaten 1-0 in Rotterdam by Feyenoord, while the surprising Danes of Midtjylland snatched 2nd place in Group F, in a tough fight, beating the Austrians of Graz (2-0 ). The four teams in this group finish with eight points each, but it is Lazio that will play a Europa League Conference play-off as Feyenoord and Midtjylland continue their journey in C3 and Sturm Graz are eliminated from all European competitions.
Nice also continues the adventure
Nice drew 2-2 in Cologne on the final day of the Europa League Conference Group B on Thursday, enough to send OGCN to the round of 16 as Partizan Belgrade couldn’t do better than a draw at the same time against Slovacko. .
The Nice players were however frightened: after having led a 2-0 rest thanks to goals from Laborde and Brahimi, they let Cologne go back to scoring with two goals from Huseinbasic then Duda at the beginning of the second half but then they managed to resist until the end to the assaults of the German team.
