West Ham with historic victory
Lazio goalkeeper produces a crazy own goal
Galatasaray Istanbul can celebrate a dream start in the Europa League because the opposing goalkeeper makes a strange, momentous mistake. A Premier League club, on the other hand, can celebrate a long-awaited success. Betis Sevilla delivers a wild peat festival.
This goal will be talked about for a long time: For a long time the Europa League game between Galatasaray Istanbul and Lazio Rome is 0-0, also because both goalkeepers and the crossbar of the Roman goal prevent everything. But then Lazios goalkeeper Thomas Strakosha doesn’t know what to do with an actually harmless arc lamp and steers the ball into his own goal to guide the Turks.
With his completely unsuccessful action, the Czech goalkeeper stands in a row with the legendary mistake Tomislav Piplicas, who once landed a similar, completely harmless moon ball on the line on the back of the head in the Bundesliga against Borussia Mönchengladbach – and from there into the goal. Twice as bitter for Strakosha: It remained 1-0 for the Turkish top club.
Betis Sevilla recorded a spectacular 4: 3 (2: 2) win against Celtic Glasgow. The Scots were already 2-0 in the lead after goals from the former Augsburg player Albian Ajeti (13th) and Josip Juranovic (27th / penalty kick) before Sevilla initiated the turnaround.
The traditional English club West Ham United has won a regular European Cup game for the first time in 22 years. The Londoners started the new season of the Europa League with a 2-0 (1-0) win against Croatian champions Dinamo Zagreb. Antonio (21st) and England international Declan Rice (50th) scored. Apart from qualifying games, the former European Cup winner West Ham last celebrated a win in international business in 1999 in the then UEFA Cup against the Croatian representative NK Osijek.
