🎥 Europa League: long-range stunner, 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 major injuries. There was also a STUNNING GOAL from midfield and, in the end, victory for the Andalusian side.

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

And Forest continued their resurgence this season.

Check out the highlights below. 

🇳🇱 Go Ahead Eagles 0 x 4 Stuttgart 🇩🇪

The German team cruised in the Netherlands.

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

Niakhaté (35') and Karabec (62') added to the tally.

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

The Israeli team 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 moments.

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 match 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 assist to score.

And another "friendly fire" incident—this time on the other side—after goalkeeper Brouwer collided hard with El Karouani, forcing the Moroccan to leave the field.

Ezzalzouli extended Betis' lead (50'). 

The Dutch side responded soon after, with Miguel Rodriguez scoring from midfield. An absolute screamer (55').

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

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

They reached 11 points and are in fifth place. Their rivals remain on one point, 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, continuing their resurgence this season.

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

Ellborg denied Yates at 44', but the rebound fell to Kalimuendo, who doubled the lead.

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

Forest reached 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 secure a win in front of their fans, but finally got their first point 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 found an equalizer through Gabri Martinez (69'). 

Rangers moved up to 33rd place. Meanwhile, the Gverreiros reached ten points and are in seventh place.
