This Thursday (2) marks the second round of the league phase of the UEFA Europa League.
There were plenty of attractions in the first nine matches of the day.
Highlight for Berke Ozer, Lille's goalkeeper, who saved the same penalty three times and made all the difference against Roma in the Italian capital - understand what happened next.
Akturkoglu, the villain of Fenerbahce before defending the club, also stood out intensely.
And Betis - who preserved Antony - won their first match.
See below the best moments.
🇮🇹 Roma 0 x 1 Lille 🇫🇷
It only took one successful shot on Svilar's goal in the first half for Lille to go into the break ahead.
Taking advantage of a fatal mistake by Tsimikas, Haraldsson scored just six minutes in.
The team from the Italian capital tried hard, but to no avail.
Their best chance was saved on the line after El Aynaoui's attempt.
The second half came, along with Roma's attempts to react.
Then, in the final minutes, VAR indicated a penalty by Mandi.
Putting Dovbyk on one side and Ozer on the other.
The Ukrainian striker shot poorly, but the Turkish goalkeeper moved forward.
Dovbyk's new chance was also wasted. Shot to the same side and another save with Ozer advancing even more.
The third shot was taken by Soulé. The Argentine switched sides, but... Ozer saved again. And without moving forward.

Iheanacho (yes, that one) even equalized, but there was an offside.
Celtic tried hard.
But it was the team from Minho that got there with Gabri Martinez (85')
🇹🇷 Fenerbahce x Nice 🇫🇷
Kerem Akturkoglu has already been the protagonist of a great story this season.
He arrived at Benfica in July 2024 from Galatasaray and did well, with 27 direct goal involvements.
Started 2025/2026 with the Encarnado, but was already considered by Fenerbahce (Gala's great rival) before the matches against the Portuguese team for a spot in the Champions League league phase.
He scored the only goal of the match, which qualified Benfica and relegated Fener to the UEL.
Shortly after... Akturkoglu was, in fact, negotiated with the Turkish club.
And after four games without scoring, he netted twice against Nice.
