"In a bizarre sequence, Roma was given three tries to equalize from the spot after the first two efforts from Artem Dovbyk were both saved by goalkeeper Berke Özer -- only for the referee to order the penalty to be retaken each time because of encroachment. Roma then switched penalty takers to Matìas Soulè, but Özer saved that one as well, diving to his right to punch the ball away in the 85th minute -- nearly four minutes after Dovbyk had made his first attempt."
"In other early games, Ricardo Horta unleashed a long-distance drive to beat goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel and substitute Gabri Martínez added a late second as Braga beat Celtic 2-0 in Glasgow. A precise strike by Giovani Lo Celso from the edge of the area and an own goal from Spanish defender Son gave Real Betis a 2-0 win away at Ludogorets. Fenerbahce forward Kerem Aktürkoğlu scored when one-on-one with goalkeeper Yehvann Diouf early in the game and added the second with a deflected shot en route to a 2-1 win over Nice."
AS Roma missed three consecutive retaken penalties late as Lille won 1-0 at Stadio Olimpico. Berke Özer saved two Artem Dovbyk spot kicks that were ordered retaken for encroachment, and then saved Matías Soulé's attempt after Roma switched takers. Hakon Arnar Haraldsson scored in the sixth minute to settle the match and give Lille a second straight win. Braga beat Celtic 2-0 via Ricardo Horta and substitute Gabri Martínez. Real Betis won 2-0 at Ludogorets with a Giovani Lo Celso strike and an own goal. Fenerbahçe, Bologna, Go Ahead Eagles, Viktoria Plzeň and Crystal Palace also recorded results in other European fixtures.
