UEFA Europa League
The margin was emphatic and underlines the gulf Hearts face if they are to recover.
Elsewhere in the Europa League, CSKA Sofia produced a genuine shock, winning 3-0 away at Maccabi Tel Aviv. A clean sheet and a three-goal haul on the road is a considerable statement from the Bulgarian side. Similarly notable was Jagiellonia's 2-1 victory over Rangers in the Europa League on Thursday.
Anderlecht edged PAOK 1-0 in a tight away win. FC Thun were comfortable, beating Vikingur Reykjavik 3-0, while Red Bull Salzburg and Lech Poznań both secured narrow 1-0 home victories against Pafos and KI Klaksvík respectively. Beşiktaş took a slender 1-0 lead from their trip to Hradec Králové. KuPS and Omonia Nicosia both drew — 1-1 against Universitatea Craiova and Lincoln Red Imps respectively — leaving those ties delicately poised.
UEFA Conference League
Twente were the standout performers in the Conference League, hammering Dunajska Streda 6-0 at home in a display that signals serious intent from the Dutch side. Almost matching them for drama was Tromso's stunning 5-0 away win against CFR 1907 Cluj — a result that will raise eyebrows across the continent. CFR will need something extraordinary in the second leg to overturn Tromso's 5-0 first-leg deficit.
FK Žalgiris Vilnius were also on the wrong end of a heavy defeat, losing 5-2 at home to HNK Hajduk Split, while Rapid Vienna won comfortably 4-1 away at Paide. Gallen — another result that qualifies as a mild upset.
FC Copenhagen dispatched Debreceni VSC 3-0 on the road, and Tre Fiori were beaten 4-1 by Drita.
Draws were shared between HJK Helsinki and Motherwell (1-1) and FC Noah and FC Sion (2-2), while Raków Częstochowa and Hammarby played out a goalless stalemate.
