Conference League: AEK Larnaca, Mainz and Rayo Vallecano clinch top-eight berth - Soccer News
"Elsewhere in the competition, Strasbourg ensured they sat top of the pile with a 3-1 win over Breidablik, despite the Ligue 1 side being level until the 80th minute. Sebastian Nanasi turned Ben Chilwell's cross home with just 11 minutes on the clock before Breidablik captain Hoskuldur Gunnlaugsson restored parity just before the break. However, Liam Rosenior's side struck twice in 14 minutes, with Martial Godo putting them ahead before Julio Enciso sealed the win, having assisted Strasbourg's second goal."
"Bundesliga side Mainz narrowly missed out on a top-eight finish despite downing Samsunspor 2-0 thanks to goals either side of half-time from Silvan Widmer and Nadiem Amiri. But there was better luck for Rayo Vallecano, who moved up to fifth following a 3-0 win over Kosovo's Drita at Estadio de Vallecas. Another big-hitter that failed to automatically qualify for the last 16 was Fiorentina, with the Serie A giants ending up in 15th after losing 1-0 to ninth-placed Lausanne-Sport."
Karol Angielski scored in the 83rd minute as AEK Larnaca beat Shkendija 1-0 at AEK Arena to progress to the Conference League last 16. Larnaca began matchday six tenth and one point outside the top eight but maintained an unbeaten group campaign to secure eighth place and a knockout spot. Strasbourg moved top of the group with a 3-1 win over Breidablik, while Mainz beat Samsunspor 2-0 yet narrowly missed the top eight. Rayo Vallecano won 3-0, Fiorentina failed to qualify after losing to Lausanne-Sport, and Lincoln Red Imps were beaten 4-1 by Legia Warszawa.
