Ferencvaros secured a surprising 2-0 victory over AC Milan at the San Siro, maintaining their perfect record in the Europa League. The Hungarian side's win marks their fourth consecutive victory in European competitions, a feat not achieved since 1968, and extends their unbeaten streak to 21 games. Leni Joseph was the standout performer, scoring a brace in the second half with assists from Christopher Zakarsson. The first goal followed a significant error by Milan's debutant goalkeeper, Lorenzo Turriani. Despite being reduced to ten men late in the game due to Della's red card, Ferencvaros held on for the win, inflicting a painful loss on Milan, who are now experiencing their worst-ever European campaign start and are outside the top 24.
In another match, Real Sociedad and Lyon drew 1-1 in San Sebastian. Real Sociedad missed an opportunity for a third consecutive home win, while Lyon, playing without a permanent coach after Paulo Fonseca's departure, ended a three-game away losing streak. Ander Barrenetxea assisted Ander Oyarzabal's opening header in the 28th minute, but Corentin Tolisso equalized with an impressive aerial goal in the second half. Both teams remain in the top 24, with Lyon holding a two-point advantage over the Spanish side.
Meanwhile, NEC Nijmegen achieved their second win in the competition by coming from behind to defeat Omonia Nicosia 3-1. Luis Dioni opened the scoring for the Cypriots, but NEC turned the game around in the second half. Tjaronn Chery provided the assist for Bryan Linssen's equalizer in the 50th minute, followed by goals from Kodai Sano in the 74th minute and Linssen's second in the 76th, securing the victory.
In England, Crystal Palace and Hoffenheim drew 1-1. Anan Khalaili started for Palace but was on the wrong side of a swift counter-attack in the seventh minute that led to Hoffenheim's opening goal. Khalaili was substituted in the 55th minute. After a largely ineffective attacking performance, Palace found a dramatic equalizer through Daichi Kamada in the 91st minute, earning them a valuable point. Crystal Palace now has five points from a possible twelve.
