Ajax 1 2 Roma
Arsenal 1 1 Slavia Prague
Dinamo Zagreb 0 1 Villarreal
Granada 0 2 Manchester United.
Unlike the UEFA Champions league which turned out to be filled with thrills and surprises, the Europa on the Contrary went as expected with little or no tensions, all being predictable.
AJAX VS ROMA
The Italian side who have no other option to earn a direct qualification to the Champions league next season other than winning the Europa league considering their Fall off in the Serie A title race hence they seemed and played hungrier than Ajax as they won away 2goals to 1 with the aid of Pellegrini and Ibanez in which Tadic missed opportunity of giving his side an early 2 goals advantage from the penalty spot.
Arsenal Vs Slavia Prague
Just as the case of Roma, the only sure turn out for the Gunners to be in Europe next season is to win the Europa league but they aren't pulling the best as they drew 1-1 at home, both goals from Pepe and Holes.
DINAMO ZAGREB VS VILLARREAL
Villarreal seemed like a Bully last night as they gave Zagreb no breathing space with the ball, the Spaniards knows what they are in for and gave no space at all to be punished by the Dinamos thereby winning with one away goal from the penalty spot taken by Gerard Moreno who was unfortunately the only man to be booked as well on the night.
Granada Vs Manchester United
Marcus Rashford who has found the back of the net more often than any of his fellow teammate in Europe did but them ahead again before Bruno Fernandes at loss time scored from the Penalty spot to put United ahead in the two leg contest.
I predict Roma, Arsenal, Villarreal and Manchester United to make it to the next stage (Semifinal) of the Competition.
