Aston Villa will improve in games, particularly in scoring goals, which they appear to struggle with. Unai Emery will ensured for good results forthcoming for the team. Villa earned three more points against the defending Hsk Zrinjski Mostar. Krunoslav Rendulic, the manager of HSK Zrinjski Mostar, has significant objectives to achieve this season, despite the fact that his team is clearly average and lacks the quality to compete with EPL clubs. Losing 1 nil was most likely due to a good defensive strategy that was invaded in the final minutes of extra time in the second half.

It is true that any team always has great difficulties playing with 10 players on the field while the opponent has 11 players on the field, but Beşiktaş is becoming the record holder for conceding many goals, against Trabzonspor they conceded 3 goals, out of 12 minutes they conceded 2 goals, in that game against trabzonspor, against adana they conceded 4 goals, and again in less than 12 minutes they also conceded 2 goals, when you look at this data I conclude that they are a weak team defensively and that they have many risks of conceding many goals in a short period of time, and adding that in this conference league game they were playing with only 10 players, so it was expected that things like these: defeat, conceding many goals, conceding many goals in a short space of time would be to happen.

In my opinion, they won't be able to progress to another stage, I highly doubt that, looking at their performance in relation to the other teams in that group, honestly they have no chance of progressing to another stage, but as they say: in football everything It's possible to happen. If they improved in defense then things would be in their favor because they have a good attack, in that part of the attack they have no problems, but there is no point in scoring goals when they are also conceding a lot of goals. the other Turkish teams did very well. fenerbahce won and would probably move on to another stage. while in the European Champions League Galatasaray also beat Manchester United

The goal of John McGinn brought so much joy to the Aston villa team I can't believe they would share points at home with the visitors Zrinjski Mostar after dominating the game but glad they utilize the golden opportunity of the last minute to take all three points am happy for the team. I think for Aston villa to win the group leaders they need to improve in their performance, they lacked the finishing touches they needed to win in their match but hopefully they should come out better and stronger in their next match.

Another game that caught my attention was the Liverpool FC game, they scored two beautiful goals  one goal before the half time and the second goal before the final whistle but they had an amazing performance, they dominated the game, enjoyed more ball possession won and  remained the group leaders in Group E.

The Besiktas side are just known for giving unnecessary upset since the beginning of this season, they lack that consistency, winning regularly is like a taboo for them. If they get a win today the next is either a draw or they lose in a game you think they've secured all 3pt.
Tonight's game way just another annoying show to the fans because they saw their team winning and all of a sudden everything changed completely, I still think they would have hold onto that 2-0 lead, instead of looking for more goals they would have ended the game in a draw, like why let a team that you're bigger than to score not just 1 or 2 but 3 goals in the second half? Is just disappointing by the home team.

They should never have lost their concentration in the match. If Besiktas had not received a red card, this match would not have ended this way. In fact, no one watching the match could have predicted that the last minutes would go like this. After the 81st minute, Besiktas seemed to be absent from the field.

Aboubakar is a very high-level striker. Even though Besiktas is bad this season, he is trying to keep his team alive on his own. Aboubakar was removed from the game in the 78th minute. After 3 minutes, the opponent team scored a goal and from that moment on, things started to get worse for Besiktas. It can be difficult for any team to experience such matches.

Besiktas shocked their supporters that's for sure. They had a 2-0 lead thanks to Aboubakar's goals. But after Rosier got that red card something started to go really wrong with this team. Lugano had so many goal attempts in the second half. It was a signal for them to score a goal as well.

However I never expected them to make a comeback and even win the game. They scored 3 goals in the last 10 minutes. It was really like a joke for Besiktas considering the quality gap between these teams. Maybe Besiktas got a red card but they could have still secured the win easily if they played decently.

Bayern Leverkusen won but not with an impressive margin, personally I think they could have done even better because the team the played against is not as good as they when compared H2H, and aswell considering how well Leverkusen has been performing in the bundesliga which is more competitive as compared to this and the local league of their opponent.

I expected the goal margin to be bigger with more difference but they were able to get just one, although they weren't playing from home but then I don't think it was a factor enough to stop them from having a huge victory over molde, they dominated the game and had all the possession through out the game from the first half to the second half.

Same with Liverpool they won with a small margin aswell, most of the bigger teams seem to be doing little with the number of goals they scored in various games in the conference league,. maybe they are most likely not using their full or main squad for this game that's why all this results are been achieved but then the most important thing is that they got the complete points

Aston Villa needed a stoppage time strike from John McGinn to secure their first points in this season UEFA Conference League competition which I think was a result of resilience and determination to win.
The Aston Villa's win against Zrinjski Mostar the whole teams in the group E are now tied to three points each which means that the group is very open for anyone to progress to the knockout stages of the competition. Aston Villa has all the potentials to win the group or at least end as the second placed team after all group stage matches are played.

I'm really sorry guys, I didn't expect Beşiktaş to be this bad. 3 goals in 10 minutes. Really a great success.
I'm not a Beşiktaş fan but I feel sorry for them, it was an important match for the country points.

I thought Fenerbahçe would win very easily and differently but they won 2-1. It is enough that they won.

Aboubakar scored two very good goals. It's frustrating that these things go to waste. While the team was leading 2-0, Rosier received a red card. The fact that the team remained with 10 players shouldn't have affected the match so much. You should have a good plan even when playing shorthanded. Beşiktaş was very confined to its own field and couldn't keep the ball in the attacking zone. Substitutions had a negative impact. This defeat is written for Şenol Güneş. There can be no excuse for such a defeat when there is such a big difference between the squads. Even if the team is down to 10 players, you have to somehow finish the match 2-0 or 2-1. If you can't play the game to keep score for half an hour, there's no point in dreaming about further rounds anyway. It was a night that lessons should be learned and forgotten as soon as possible.

Besiktas is terrible this season,the red card destroyed them i guessed but they had 2-0 until 80th minute even with a player down i still dont see how you can concede three goals in 10 minutes and lose the game. Now they have one point only and things for them are looking really bad.

Beşiktaş suffered a bad defeat today, I am truly saddened by this defeat. Things are not looking good for Besiktas this season, both in the league and the Conference league. He will need it badly after losing three points in this match, three goals in eight minutes was extremely shocking. Abubakar, however, made the opening match very well with his header.

Then he scored the second goal. Aboubakar scored both goals with good opportunities, but it was not enough, I'm sorry. It would be a good night, the country's score would increase. He could not perform the game he played in the first half in the second half, which led to defeat.

This result is even more unexpected for me than Braga’s comeback from 0-2 to 2-3 yesterday. Still, Union Berlin can be said to be new to the European Cups and they took off too quickly, so the volatility of the results is expected. Besiktas is a much more experienced club, I understand that the red card completely ruined the game, but three goals in 10 minutes... damn it hurts.

Beşiktaş is tough with the presence of outstanding players, recorded defeats against Lugano was shocking because they dominated the game with full capacity and confidence, already leading 2 nil but the red card really changed the game around infavour of their opponents. Although I blamed Beşiktaş for failing to defend their territory after the red card, because I've seen teams winning game with red card so it's not an excused for their unexpected defeats. Conceding 3 goals within the range of 10 minutes is totally unacceptable, perhaps they will be able to do better in their next game.

I expect Fenerbahce to be the leader of this group H. The matches will be very comfortable for them. I will expect them to score at least 2 goals today.

Fenerbahce's starting XI against Spartak Trnava: İrfan Can Eğribayat, Oosterwolde, Serdar Aziz, Becao, Osayi-Samuel, Zajc, Crespo, Mert Hakan, Kent, King, Batshuayi.

Beşiktaş, one of our representatives, lost 3-2 to their rival Lugano at home. Beşiktaş played a good game in the first half and managed to close the first half ahead. Beşiktaş started the second half fast and doubled the difference with Aboubakar's second goal. In the 61st minute, Beşiktaş lost control of the match as they were reduced to 10 men after Rosier received a red card. Besiktas conceded 3 goals in the last 10 minutes and lost 3-2 in a match in which they led 2-0.

What its happening in this Conference league? Lille cant wina gainst the super weak team from the Faroe Islands? Come on!!.

Balkani winning against the proved on CHampions DInamo Zagreb!

And the most impact game.... Lugano coming backa gainst Besiktas in the last ten minutes!!! from 0-2 to 3-2!!! CRAZY

Even Aston Villa can't be fully trusted these days indeed. Their loss against Legia by 3-2 was very surprising to me. Aston Villa don't play in European competitions regularly so I would expect them to take advantage of every chance they get. Aston Villa are the biggest favourite of bookies for the Conference League title now.

Today they would most probably get a win against Zrinjski but they had better play like they do in the English Premier League. Because Zrinjski also got a surprising win on the first week against AZ. They would play fearlessly as they have nothing to lose. I understand Aston Villa's prioritizing the EPL but they had better focus on their matches here if they want to achieve a title this season.

Aston Villa is the favorite in this match against Zrinjski in the Conference League but yes, I hope Aston Villa does not underestimate Zrinjski. Because after all, Zrinjski in his first match also managed to make a lot of goals against AZ Alkmaar and Zrinjski managed to win with a score of 4-3. Therefore, although Aston Villa clearly has a great chance to be able to beat Zrinjski this match but still, Aston Villa must make a great effort also as a form of seriousness for Aston Villa to be able to go further also in this Conference League.

Tonight, the the second of the Group Stage of the UEFA Conference League are currently being played. Our representatives Fenerbahçe and Beşiktaş will struggle their oppenets. I prefer to watch Fenerbahçe and Beşiktaş matches. The first half of the Beşiktaş-Lugano match has ended. Besiktas is leading 1-0.

Beşiktaş's starting XI against Lugano: Ersin, Rosier, Bailly, Colley, Masuaku, Hadziahmetovic, Salih, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ghezzal, Cenk, Aboubakar.

Lugano's starting XI against Beşiktaş :Saipi, Espinoza, Mai, Hajrizi, Hajdari, Bislimi, Grgic, Sabbatini, Steffen, Bottani, Celar.
