Key Match Highlights
Half Time: Dynamo Kyiv 0-1 Crystal Palace
A fine start to the European competition proper for Palace, with Muñoz's header providing the visitors a well-earned lead in the Polish city.
Intermission: Celtic 0-1 SC Braga
Another tough continental evening for Brendan Rodgers so far, as the away team are ahead through Ricardo Horta’s distance shot, which had Kasper Schmeichel struggling at nothing.
Match Context
Forest's most recent homeground match in European competition was a disappointing occasion: optimistic after returning from Bayern Munich with just a 2-1 loss, the home side conceded five scores to a dominant Bayern side in 1996. This evening's opponents, FC Midtjylland, were not formed at that time – the Denmark-based side were established by a merger in 1999 but have gathered considerable continental experience in the past ten years, and represent a challenging challenge for the Forest manager, still searching for his first win as Nottingham Forest head coach.
Aston Villa have also made an underwhelming beginning to the campaign and face a more renowned European name in Feyenoord – whose home ground in Rotterdam was the location of Villa’s greatest night back in 1982. While supporters savor a nostalgic trip to the stadium, the Villa manager's primary worry will be sustaining momentum after eking out successive wins over Bologna and Fulham in the previous seven days.
Speaking of tough beginnings, Russell Martin might have at last won a match and boosted his reputation among Rangers FC supporters by around 0.0001%, but Sturm Graz – beaten by FC Midtjylland in their Europa League first match – look able of sending the beleaguered manager to the lowest point. One more manager under pressure, Aberdeen’s Thelin, welcomes Shakhtar Donetsk to their home ground.
All those games start at 20:00 (British Summer Time), with coverage from Crystal Palace’s Conference League trip to play Dynamo Kyiv in Poland and Celtic's home European fixture against SC Braga, plus all the other hot European action. Stay tuned!
