The match between Dutch Utrecht and Belgian Genk was not immediately ruined by incidents in the stands. The fans of the visiting team entered the sector without checking and apparently even without a ticket, after which they started throwing chairs.

Special police officers arrived on the scene and, according to the officers, extinguished pepper spray to stabilize the situation.

Initially the match was postponed for fifteen weeks, but due to the escalation of the conflict it was postponed for another year. Grass started at 10:50 PM after Kiev time (9:50 PM after Moscow time).

FC Utrecht, after consultation with the Irish arbitration, has confirmed the decision to postpone the start of the match, designating the local team as ZMI.

Before this match, Utrecht was in 32nd place on the tournament list with 1 point, and Genk in 18th place with 10 points.

The UEFA European League has also extended the end of two additional rounds after updating its European Cup format. Also, immediately after the Champions League evenings, we began to shift our respect to another international club tournament of the Old World, where the upper echelons of power are clearly no less wary.

And we continue to look forward to the performances of the Italian Romy in the context of the important injury of the Ukrainian striker Artem Dovbyk. Moreover, Gian Piero Gasperina’s team still claims to reach the 1/8 finals, which means they have to beat one of their direct competitors: Stuttgart, Germany.

Regardless of the fact that the Italian coach of this match was obsessed with rotation, the little ones of his team left without changing. Roma calmly gave the ball to the opponents in the beginning and they created even more in the first half by Leveling shooting from the right flank from the penalty, which Svilara managed to realize. For an hour, the Wolves were kept in front for as long as possible, but at the end of the first half, Sule, after knowing Pisilli, moved to the right flank of the penalty box, and he shot into the goal from an acute angle.

Roma had taken advantage of the racket and in the other half gave just enough ball to the “Swabians” against the powerful thieves. And in fact the ice did not end, as if at two important moments they began to get into the middle of someone else’s penalty kick somewhere around the goalkeeper of the super team. A year ago, Demirovich was promoted to attacking partner thanks to a divinely unrealized second chance, and the rest of the word in the match was lost to Pisilli himself, who, for example, in the match managed his cross from the right flank to the nearby Dibala in a solitary attack.

This year, Italian Roma will host Greek Panathinaikos, while German Stuttgart will host Swiss Young Boys.

Head coach Romi Gian Piero Gasperini commented on his team’s victory in the European League match against Danish Midtjylland (2:1).

“We missed the opportunity to play better. We had a lot of fun. We have to renew our strength and play better this week. We opened early, then relaxed, and in the end we could have spent everything. You have to play until the end, you can’t look back when you are near the souls.”

Kone’s injury? Let’s wait and see. He has a serious injury, but it seems that his injury is not serious.

The Oars dropped a lot of candy, and this is covered even though it has monstrous potential. But pardon is not easy to obtain anyway. We have few serious opponents on the flanks. There was something we couldn’t figure out technically. We couldn’t have developed the group better. Some progress had been made, but after that everything became a little easier. Gilardi played well. You had a wonderful match. Maybe after scoring a few goals we could have played better in our richer relationships.

We are looking forward to the Napoli match with impatience and it is completely logical that we should think about it. However, to be good, you have to be well prepared. Teams are good to know one by one. Napoli’s strength lies in its core, they have a great team, they are champions. We know that we can play at the limits of our capabilities. We have to play against one of the strongest teams in Italy.

In addition to what we have earned with Inter and Milan, we need to get a better result. We compare our strengths with the strongest teams – it’s amazing how similar we are,” Gasperina quotes Football-Italia.
