The two “satisfying” draws with a score of 2-2 between Eindhoven and Real Sociedad, but also Leicester and Napoli stood out from the premiere of the group stage Europa League, where Lyon also got a big double in Scotland against Rangers.
Lyon continued its very good tradition in the Europa League in “Ibrox”. With the 2-0 against the Rangers, the “Lions” completed 19 matches with only one defeat in the groups of the tournament, while in the last 10 away matches they have 5 wins and 4 draws. For the Scottish champions tonight was the first defeat after 10 matches in the Europa League groups and just the 5th in the last 28 games it has given in all competitions.
Eindhoven and Real Sociedad drew 2-2 in their first European match, with the hosts leading the way and the Basques responding immediately with two goals. Finally, PSV equalized in the second half, in its 12th draw in 33 matches against Spanish teams.
The first European match between Leicester and Napoli did not show a winner (2-2) at the “King Power”. The draw, however, leaves the Italians satisfied, as for about 70 minutes they were behind the score with 2-0, however, with Osimien they managed to “save the game”. Napoli, for its part, continued the tradition that wants it to not be able to win on English soil, where in 10 matches it has 4 draws and 6 defeats.
