The combined night for Czech representatives in the UEFA Europa League as Slavia Prague qualified for the 16-way circular, while Sparta Prague and Slovan Liberec were eliminated with one match for playing each.

Goals from Abdallah Sima and Nicolae Stanciu helped jind-ich Trpi-ovsk’s team result.
The head coach told Slavia’s website:
“I rate the procedure very high, we control to eliminate nice and we have twelve editions after five circulars, which is a good fortune for the team. In the organization with Leverkusen and Nice, we have some paperwork before the circular ends and it will also fight for the first place. “
“I’d put this on par with the Champions League and the European League Spring Campaign two years ago. We have a lot of young guys, after the first circular we were a point, so if we beat Leverkusen and went first, it would be an even greater success. “
Sparta needed at least one draw in Lille to give themselves the chance to progress and, despite leading, after the expulsion of a boy, until the 80th minute, lost 2-1 in France to withdraw from the tournament.
Kotal reprimanded the red card his team received, saying “a shame that we went to ten [men]” and saying it was “terribly difficult to play against such quality” with one less player.
Ultimately, Liberec withdrew from the festival despite a 2-1 win against Genk in Belgium. However, a tie between the other two groups in the group, Hoffenheim and Red Star, allowed both groups to qualify for the next round.
