For Ukrainian fans, Thursday night ended in frustration

The final hurdle before the UEFA Europa Conference League group stage began with high stakes and even higher emotions across the continent. But for Ukrainian fans, Thursday night ended in frustration as Shakhtar Donetsk were held to a draw and Polissya Zhytomyr suffered a disappointing defeat.

However, the biggest shock came in Sweden, where Romanian side CFR Cluj endured a night to forget, collapsing to a stunning 2-7 thrashing at the hands of BK Häcken.

Elsewhere, familiar names returned to the spotlight. Hamrun Spartans and RFS — both former opponents of Dynamo Kyiv — battled in a tightly contested affair. Just one goal separated them, with the Maltese club claiming a crucial 1-0 victory to keep their European dream alive.
