🎥 Keeper's 'reverse hat-trick' in Italy, Akturkoglu the hero | OneFootball

This Thursday (2nd) marks the second round of the league phase of the UEFA Europa League.

And there was no shortage of attractions in the first nine matches of the day.

Highlight goes to Berke Ozer, Lille’s goalkeeper, who saved the same penalty three times and made all the difference against Roma in the Italian capital – find out what happened in sequence.

Once a villain for Fenerbahce before joining the club, Akturkoglu also stood out intensely.

And Betis – who rested Antony – claimed their first win.

Check out the best moments below.

🇮🇹 Roma 0 x 1 Lille 🇫🇷

It took just one accurate 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 as early as the sixth minute.

The team from the Italian capital tried hard, but to no avail.

Their best chance was cleared off the line after an attempt by El Aynaoui.

The second half came, and with it, 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 took a poor shot, but the Turkish goalkeeper had moved early.

Dovbyk’s second chance was also wasted. He shot to the same side, and Ozer saved again, moving even further ahead.

The third attempt went to Soulé. The Argentine switched sides, but... Ozer saved again. And this time, without moving off his line.

Orsolini put the Rossoblù ahead (29') by pouncing on a rebound from Atubolu, who failed to hold onto the ball.

Adamu equalized from the penalty spot (57').

🏴 Celtic 0 x 2 Braga 🇵🇹

The Portuguese side opened the scoring at the 21st minute.

Gorby set up Ricardo Horta, who shot from outside the box. The ball curled, with some help from Schmeichel, the English champion with Leicester.

Iheanacho (yes, that one) even equalized, but it was ruled offside.

Celtic did try.

But it was the Minho side that struck again through Gabri Martinez (85').

And they remain 100% in the UEL.

🇹🇷 Fenerbahce 2 x 1 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.

He started 2025/2026 with the Eagles, but was already being considered by Fenerbahce (Gala’s great rival) before the matches against the Portuguese side for a spot in the Champions League league phase.

He scored the only goal of the tie, which qualified Benfica and relegated Fener to the UEL.

Shortly after... Akturkoglu was, in fact, transferred to the Turkish club.

And after four goalless games, he scored twice against Nice.

The first, just three minutes in, came after a pass from Talisca.

Then, in the 25th minute, he received from Yuksek before celebrating.

The Riviera side pulled one back in the 37th, with Kevin converting a penalty committed by Skriniar.

The second half saw a superior Fener, but no more goals.

🇬🇷 Panathinaikos 1 x 2 G.A. Eagles 🇳🇱

The KNVB Cup title, the Dutch Cup, last season, was the first trophy for Go Ahead Eagles in 92 years.

The cup guaranteed them a spot in the current UEL, the first European tournament in the club’s history.

And after a defeat in the opening round, the Dutch side made history by beating Panathinaikos on Greek soil.

Swiderski opened the scoring for the hosts after a pass from Tetê (56').

But the comeback came thanks to two goals from Smit (75' and 82').

🇧🇬 Ludogorets 0 x 2 Betis 🇪🇸

Lo Celso put the Andalusian side ahead in the 31st minute with a curling shot from the edge of the box.

The second for Betis was an own goal by Son (53').

That secured their first win after the lively 2-2 draw with Forest in the opening round.
