AFC Sunderland's crisis continues.
The bottom side of the English Premier League lost 2-0 at home to Dinamo Zagreb on matchday four of the UEFA Europa League.
Beljo finds the net, Danso hits the bar
The visitors took the lead in the 22nd minute through Luka Stojkovic. Before the end of the first half, former Rapid player Dion Beljo doubled the lead to 2-0 (39').
Sunderland improved in the second half, but the English side were unlucky.
First, a goal by Wilson Isidor was ruled out, and Austrian international Kevin Danso, who played the full 90 minutes, could only rattle the crossbar midway through the second half.
Narrow victory for Saint-Gilloise
There was a victory for Raul Florucz and Union Saint-Gilloise.
The Belgians won 2-1 away at Celta Vigo. The key player was Besfort Zeneli. Although the Swede missed a penalty in the closing stages, his brace secured the win regardless.
Austrian striker Florucz spent the entire match on the bench.
Success for Marseille and Juventus
Olympique Marseille claimed a somewhat surprising victory.
The French side, who were previously without a point, won 1-0 away against previously unbeaten Bayer Leverkusen. Amine Gouiri scored the winning goal (77').
Meanwhile, Juventus won 2-1 at AZ Alkmaar. Teun Koopmeiners (19') and Randal Kolo Muani (39') scored for Juve, with Mexx Meerdink getting on the scoresheet for the hosts (88').
