Heartbreak for Atromitos and Asteras

Neither Asteras Tripolis nor Atromitos did manage to advance in the Europa League, failing to score victories at home in the return games held in Greece on Thursday.

Both the Asteras vs Hibernian and the Atromitos vs Dinamo Brest games finished 1-1 for the second qualifying round, leaving Olympiakos as the only Greek club left in the competition.

Asteras went out on a 4-3 aggregate score since it paid for a poor first half during which it conceded a goal and created only one decent chance. In the second half it was far better than Hibernian despite being a man down, but one goal would not be enough on the night.

Hibs scored first on the 43rd minute when John McGinn slotted the ball past Giorgos Athanasiadis from the edge of the box with a diagonal shot, after Asteras's Matias Iglesias gave the ball away near the halfway line.

Michalis Manias left...
