The defending champions Atletico Madrid were pulled out by Rubin Kazan, Spurs were preserved by a time goal from Mousa Dembele and Newcastle high level thanks to a goal from Shola Ameobi. Just another day in the Europa League. It had been a good day for two EPL clubs as Spurs were preserved by a eleventh hour goal and Newcastle advanced because of another half penalty. Things were not so excellent for the defending champions Atletico Madrid who were knocked out by Rubin Kazan. Here's a recap off every one of today's early action in the Europa League. Radamel Falcao scored in the 84th minute and Kazan's CAsar was red carded four minutes later, however it wasn't enough to truly save the defending champions from leaving the competition. Atletico had a lot of chances but by the time Falcao's free stop defeat Sergei Ryzhikov, it was too little too late. Ryzhikov was outstanding for Rubin Kazan making eight saves. Cluj's hopes of a remarkable 2nd knee comeback were dashed after 21 minute when Rodrigo Palacio broke behind the large defensive line and received goalkeeper MArio Felgueiras off his line before crossing to Fredy Guarin for a fairly pedestrian re-direction from close range. Guarin included a second right before halftime when Felgueiras fumbled a straightforward address in his or her own package and advantage was taken by Guarin getting the ball in the empty net. Things got worse for Cluj in the 80th moment when Mario Camora was red carded and seven minutes later Inter's Marco Benassi added a third purpose, rubbing a tad bit more sodium in the wound. Basel didn't seem enthusiastic about doing anything significantly more than defending their cause from the very first leg but things still got crazy late. After having a rather boring hour, Dnipro's expectations looked squashed when Nikola Kalinic was shown a straight red card in the 63rd moment. Significantly less than ten minutes later, Fabian Frei used Dnipro a lifeline choosing a handball in the field. Frei was sent down and Yevhen Seleznyov won the penalty, getting his part straight back in just a goal. Dnipro's dreams were finally extinguished in the 81st minute when Roman Zozulya fouled Valentin Stocker in the field and Fabian Schar buried his penalty test. Metalist Kharkiv 0-1 (0-1) Newcastle United Shola Ameobi's 64th minute punishment was all Newcastle had a need to advance to the Round of 16. Newcastle received the charge Oleksandr Goryainov and Papa Gueye got their signals fully entered and fouled Moussa Sissoko. Undoubtedly you will find shirtless Geodies celebrating in the streets of Kharkiv tonight. After a wild 3-3 first leg in Germany, Lazio turn off Monchengladbach behind first half targets from Antonio Candreva and Alvaro GonzAlez. Follow the link for a full match report. Stuttgart wasn't all that good in house first knee letting an absent target however it finished up not mattering thanks to targets from Arthur Boka and Christian Gentner.
