The victories of Sp. Braga (1-0 against Nice) and FC Porto (2-1 against Malmö) have once again brought Portugal closer to the Netherlands in the battle for the 6th place in the UEFA ranking, as AZ Alkmaar was the only Dutch team to earn points – Utrecht, Feyenoord, and Go Ahead Eagles lost – by defeating Drita 3-0.
Belgium (8th) also fell behind, as Genk was defeated 1-0 at Midtjylland's ground.
