Déjà-vu for Loris Karius: If you think of the German keeper, you automatically think of his dropout in the Champions League final in 2018. At that time he had thrown the ball at the kick Karim Benzema - and this could to 1-0 to meet. Now Karius has again made spectacular mistakes: As goalkeeper of Besiktas Istanbul he ran away teammate Pedro Rebocho outside the penalty area - and attacker Andraz Sporar from Bratislava was able to push for the lead. In the end, the team from Turkey lost 2-4.

Three goals in four minutes: For Dudelange began the second European season of history with a roller coaster ride. Luxembourg club Apoel Nikosia from Cyprus were ahead with two goals, and then the team of ex-BVB coach Thomas Doll turned the match to 3-2. But Dudelange came back once again, scoring the 3: 3 - and later even the winning goal. Curious: The 2: 1 (54th), 2: 2 (56th) and the 2: 3 (58th) fell within four minutes.

English teenage goals: A 17-year-old saved Manchester United from a point loss against Kazakhstan's Astana club. Mason Greenwood scored the 1-0 win at the Europa League opener of the English club. It was his first goal for United. Also the Arsenal could rely on a youngster. Bukayo Saka, 18 years and 14 days old, met Eintracht Frankfurt 2-0 in the meantime. He was the club's youngest goalscorer since Aaron Ramsey hit Fenerbahce in 2008. Ramsey was 17 years and 300 days old at the time.
