Stuttgart cruise in Scotland, Ludogorets survive away night 📹 | OneFootball

Only ONE home team goes into the second leg of the Europa League round of 16 playoffs with an advantage.

The Bulgarian team Ludogorets is that team.

Three other matches were held at 5 PM (Brasília time).

Highlight for Stuttgart, which went to Scotland and won 4-1 against Celtic on a night of little inspiration from Kasper Schmeichel.

It was Martin O'Neill's 1,000th game in his coaching career. But there was no reason to celebrate.

Red Star also helped reinforce the "visitor's spree" by beating Lille on French soil 1-0.

There had already been four visitor victories in the 2:45 PM games. See here.

All eight second-leg matches will be next Thursday (26).

Bilal El Khannouss took advantage at 15'.

Celtic responded with Nygren after another gift (21').

The German team went into halftime ahead thanks to another goal by Bilal El Khannouss (28').

The second half saw another mistake by Schmeichel, contributing to Stuttgart's third goal by Leweling (57').

There was still time for Tiago Tomás to score the fourth (93').

Good result for Red Star

The Serbian team faced Lille in France and came out on top.
