🎥 Forest win with Brazilian goal, Roma stumble in UEL | OneFootball

The third round of the UEFA Europa League group stage began with Braga, Lyon, Fenerbahçe, and Go Ahead Eagles - by turning over Aston Villa - as highlights. 

This Thursday (23rd) saw ten more matches.

With a goal from Igor Jesus, Nottingham Forest won in the debut of their third coach in the 2025/2026 season.

Frustrating Porto, who were undefeated this season.

Roma disappointed in front of their fans and remains outside the top 8.

There was also a comeback from the Eredivisie leader and more.

The response from the Riviera team came shortly after, with Mohamed-Ali Cho (16').

But Nice saw Clauss receive two yellow cards in just 11 minutes before halftime.

Celta was dominant in the second half, suffocating the opponent.

And the persistence was rewarded with a goal from Borja Iglesias (75').

Second victory for Celta. And no points for Nice so far.

🇳🇱 Feyenoord 3 x 1 Panathinaikos 🇬🇷

As the isolated leader of the Eredivisie and undefeated, Feyenoord won their first in the UEL.

Swiderski put the Greek team ahead (18').

But they were overturned thanks to goals from Read (48'), Hadj Moussa (55'), and Larin (90').

🇫🇷 Lille 3 x 4 PAOK 🇬🇷

The Greek team overpowered their rival in the first half.

Goals from Meité (18'), Zivkovic (23'), and Konstantelias (42').

The greater ball possession was of no use to the hosts.

Then the second half was CRAZY.

Lille pulled one back with the veteran Benjamin André (57) and scored another with Igamane (68').

Zivkovic missed a penalty but scored shortly after (74'), marking PAOK's fourth.

Igamane celebrated again (78'), but no equalizer for Lille. 

🇮🇹 Roma 1 x 2 Viktoria Plzeň 🇨🇿

Defeated in the last round, the Eternal City team was surprised.

They went into the break with a significant deficit after conceding goals from Adu (20') and Souaré (22').

They did pull one back with Dybala converting a penalty (54').

But couldn't avoid the defeat. They remain with three points. 

🇽🇪 Nottingham Forest 2 x 0 Porto 🇵🇹

One of the major disappointments of the season, Forest bet on the debut of Sean Dyche, their third coach in 2025/2026.

They opened the scoring after a penalty committed by Bednarek.

Which Gibbs-White converted.

Porto even scored with Bednarek, but it was offside.

Better on the field, Forest extended the lead after another penalty.

Initially, the referee called a dive by Savona and booked the Italian midfielder.

But was called by VAR to confirm the penalty.

Igor Jesus received the ball from Gibbs-White and scored his fifth goal of the season.

It was Forest's first victory in the UEL. And only the second of the season.

And Porto's first defeat in 25/26.

Twice Champions League winners, Forest returns to European tournaments.

And had plenty of reasons to celebrate this evening.
