🎥 Europa League: long-range screamer, 6-0 thrashing and more | OneFootball

The fifth round of the UEFA Europa League league phase featured the now traditional nine matches at 5 p.m. (Brasília time).

Betis and Utrecht starred in a match full of "double friendly fire" and potential important injuries. There was also a STUNNING GOAL from midfield and, in the end, victory for the Andalusian side.

Playing away from home, Lyon steamrolled to take the top spot in the UEL league phase.

And Forest continued to strengthen their comeback this season.

Check out the highlights below.

Brazilian full-back Abner Vinicius opened the scoring just four minutes in.

Niakhaté (35') and Karabec (62') rounded it off.

The French team reached 12 points, surpassing Midtjylland and Aston Villa due to a superior goal difference.

The Israeli team, on the other hand, is second to last, with just one point. 

🇪🇸 Betis 2 x 1 Utrecht 🇳🇱

The win went to Antony & Co.'s team. But the match was filled with worrying and bizarre incidents.

Isco and Amrabat both went for the same ball less than two minutes in. Both had to be substituted, sending the Andalusian fans into a panic.

The 33-year-old Spanish midfielder was only playing his second game of the season after a serious injury.

An initial assessment indicated a "severe contusion."

The first half ended with Cucho Hernández taking advantage of an Antony pass to score.

Another "friendly fire" incident—this time on the other side—occurred when goalkeeper Brouwer collided hard with El Karouani, resulting in the Moroccan's substitution.

Ezzalzouli extended Betis' lead (50'). 

The Dutch side responded soon after with Miguel Rodriguez scoring from midfield. A stunning goal (55').

They even equalized, but it was ruled offside. The match became wide open and "dangerous" for Betis.

But the three points stayed with Manuel Pellegrini's side. 

They reached 11 points, now in fifth place. Their rivals remain on one point and in 32nd. 

🏴 Nottingham Forest 3 x 0 Malmö 🇸🇪

This was a rematch of the 1978/1979 Champions League final.

And once again, Forest came out on top, reinforcing their resurgence this season.

Their third consecutive win began with captain Yates scoring first-time to beat Ellborg (27').

Ellborg denied Yates in the 44th minute, but the rebound fell to Kalimuendo, who doubled the lead.

Milenkovic added another in the second half (59').

Forest now have eight points and are in 16th place. The Swedish side is third from bottom with one point.

🏴 Rangers 1 x 1 Braga 🇵🇹

In crisis, Rangers couldn't get the win in front of their fans, but finally got off the mark in the UEL. 

Tavernier, from the penalty spot, opened the scoring (48') at Ibrox Stadium.

The Portuguese side lost Salazar to a red card, but managed to equalize through Gabri Martinez (69'). 

Rangers are now in 33rd place. The Gverreiros reached ten points and are in seventh.
