The current European cup season is truly unique. This is because the best clubs in the world compete in a new competition system. The 5th round of the Europa League took place on Thursday, November 28. The first meetings started at 18:45. Already then we witnessed several surprises. One of them was made by the Polish team.
A huge collapse of a great club. It's scary to look at these results
I'm talking about Ludogor Razgrad, who had a sensational goalless draw away with Lazio. Jakub Piotrowski plays in the Bulgarian band. In Thursday's match, the Polish national team midfielder appeared on the pitch only a minute before the end of regular game time. For his team, it was only the second match in the Europa League in which he collected any points. After five rounds, Ludogorets has only two points.
However, there are no points on Dynamo Kyiv's account. The Ukrainian team lost at home to Viktoria Plzeň 1:2. In this Europa League season, Dynamo has lost all five matches so far (0-4 against Ferencvaros, 0-1 against AS Roma, 0-2 against TSG Hoffenheim, 0-3 against Lazio). Currently, Tomasz Kędziora's former club is in last place in the table with a goal balance of 1:12. One consolation may be the fact that at least in league Ukrainian team from Kiev is in the leader's seat after 13 series of games.
On Thursday, Fenerbahce also played a match in the LE with Sebastian Szymański in the squad. In the 35th minute of the away match against Slavia Prague, our national team player provided an assist to Edin Dzeko, who made a great long-range shot. The match ended with the guests winning 2:1. However, we watched Marcin Bułka on the pitch in Nice. The goalkeeper of Michał Probierz's team had to remove the ball from the net four times. This performance will certainly not be among his best. His teammates didn't help either, as they threw the Pole onto landmines.
The same cannot be said about Adam Buks. Although his Midtjylland lost 1-2 against Eintracht Frankfurt at their own stadium, the Polish striker performed quite well, as evidenced by the rating of 7.1 on the Sofascore platform. We should also not forget about Karabakh Agdam, defended by Mateusz Kochalski. The Azerbaijanis lost 1:4 against Lyon. The above-mentioned Kędziora could be happy with the victory, as PAOK Thessaloniki defeated the Latvian RFS 2-0. The Polish defender played the entire match in the center of defense.
The fifth round was also full of great hits. Tottenham almost won another match, winning at home against AS Roma for a long time 2-1. He appeared on the pitch in the second half Nicola Zalewskibut our representative did not manage to change the fate of the match. Mats Humels succeeded in this feat, leading to a 2-2 draw in the last minutes. At the same time, Real Sociedad won 2-0 against Ajax Amsterdam. How they look results the rest of the matches of the fifth series of games of the LE league phase?
