Noah Okafor’s 50th-minute strike was all that condemned Sevilla to the Europa League while the Austrians finished second behind Lille, who beat Wolfsburg 3-1 on the night.

Meanwhile, Villareal’s clash with Atalanta on Wednesday evening was postponed till Thursday afternoon after weather conditions became unsuitable for the football game.

The game will be played on Thursday afternoon, with the kickoff time yet to be announced. The Yellow Submarines are second on the table, and avoiding a loss will see them through behind Manchester United.
