Champions League Night Packed With Comebacks and Late Goals

Hapoel Beer Sheva and Levski Sofia both secured 1-0 home wins over Crvena Zvezda and FC Kairat Almaty, Olympiacos F.C. drew 0-0 with N.E.C. Nijmegen in a tense game featuring three red cards, and the red-card theme continued in the Europa League as Larne F.C. finished with nine men in a 0-0 draw against Iberia 1999 Tbilisi.
In the UEFA Europa League, Shamrock Rovers F.C. pulled away after the break to beat KF Egnatia Rrogozhine 3-1, adding a clear second-half success to a day otherwise shaped by narrow margins, recoveries and late goals.
