Galatasaray are through to the last 32 after beating Dinamo Bucharest, while Panathinaikos are on the brink of qualification from Europa League Group F.

Former Leeds United star Harry Kewell was among the scorers as Galatasaray eased to a 3-0 away success over Dinamo Bucharest.

The Turkish side opened the scoring in the 22nd minute when Kewell picked up possession 12 yards out and calmly beat Emilian Dolha with a low right-footed shot.

The lead was doubled in the 25th minute, with Shabani Nonda heading in Arda Turan's cross from the right.

The game was put beyond Dinamo's reach in emphatic fashion in the 54th minute when Mehmet Topal gave Dolha no chance with a well-struck effort from 20 yards.

Panathinaikos require just one more point to make it into the knockout phase after a 1-0 victory away to Sturm Graz.

After creating the better of the chances, Panathinaikos got the goal they deserved on 71 minutes when Sebastian Leto swung in a cross for Kostas Katsouranis and the unmarked midfielder stabbed the ball home from a few yards out.

Djibril Cisse could have added a second nine minutes from time but his right-footed strike was superbly tipped around the post by Christian Gratzei at full stretch.
