Come for that, stay for the insanity in Russia.
Burnley 1-0 aet (1-0 agg.) Istanbul Basaksehir
Burnley’s first European run in 57 years continues thanks to more Joe Hart heroics and a Jack Cork extra time goal on Thursday at Turf Moor.
İstanbul Başakşehir out shot the hosts 18-10 but couldn’t solve Hart, who extended his clean sheet record to 300 minutes, making a number of saves in blanking the Turkish guests for the second time this season. He also shutout Southampton in the Premier League.
Cork managed a pretty 97th minute goal from a Jeff Hendrick feed, scoring a tie-deciding goal for the second-straight round.
Partizan Belgrade 3-2 (5-3 agg.) Nordsjaelland
American winger Jonathan Amon has his first Europa League goal, though it couldn’t help his Danish visitors overcome a 3-1 first leg deficit.
Molde 3-0 (3-0 agg.) Hibernian
American midfielder Emerson Hyndman played the final 50 minutes for Hibs, who could not earn a berth in the playoff round.
Zenit Saint-Petersburg 8-1 (8-5 agg.) Dinamo Minsk
Zenit bounced back in a big, big way after last week’s 4-0 loss in Ukraine. Zenit matched that marker over 90 minutes, but went into the extra time’s halftime down 5-4 on a goal by Dinamo’s Seidu Yahaya.
Sebastian Driussi leveled the score line in the 109th minute, before Russian World Cup hero Artem Dzyuba completed his hat trick and Robert Mak scored a pair of goals. The sixth and seventh goals came from the penalty spot, five minutes apart.
