Key Game Highlights

Half Time: Dynamo Kyiv 0-1 Palace

A fine beginning to the European competition proper for Crystal Palace, with Muñoz's looping header giving the visitors a well-earned lead in Lublin.

Another difficult European evening for Brendan Rodgers so far, as the away team are ahead through Horta's long-range shot, which had the goalkeeper struggling at nothing.

Match Context

Nottingham Forest’s last home game in European competition was a disappointing occasion: optimistic after coming back from Bayern Munich with just a 2-1 loss, the hosts conceded five goals to a rampant Bayern Munich team in 1996. This evening's rivals, Midtjylland, were not formed back then – the Danish club were established by a merger in 1999 but have amassed considerable continental experience in the past ten years, and pose a challenging test for Ange Postecoglou, yet seeking his first win as Forest head coach.

Aston Villa have also made an underwhelming start to the campaign and confront a more renowned continental opponent in Feyenoord Rotterdam – whose home ground in the Dutch city was the location of Aston Villa's most memorable night back in 1982. While supporters enjoy a nostalgic trip to De Kuip, the Villa manager's chief concern will be maintaining momentum after eking out successive wins over Bologna FC and Fulham in the last week.

Regarding difficult beginnings, Russell Martin might have finally secured a match and improved his reputation among Rangers supporters by approximately 0.0001%, but Sturm Graz – defeated by FC Midtjylland in their European opener – appear capable of sending the under-pressure manager to the lowest point. One more manager facing scrutiny, Aberdeen FC's Thelin, hosts Shakhtar Donetsk to Pittodrie.

All those games kick off at 8pm (British Summer Time), with updates from Palace's European trip to play Kyiv in Poland and Celtic’s homeground European fixture against Braga, along with all the other hot Euro matches. Stay tuned!
