PSV hit back for a point in Denmark as Sparta win five-goal thriller
PSV Eindhoven still top Europa League Group K after drawing in Denmark, while Sparta Prague are second after a thrilling win at CFR Cluj.
Balazs Dzsudzsak scored a second-half equaliser to leave
PSV favourites to reach the last 32 following a 1-1 draw at
FC Copenhagen.
FCK were ahead five minutes before half-time when Jesper Gronkjaer scored from the penalty spot after Dame Ndoye was brought down by Erik Peters.
PSV were back on level terms after 71 minutes when Danko Lazovic supplied the cross for Dzsudzsak to force home.
It was a sucker punch for FCK, who had done most of the running in the match. And they should have snatched the points five minutes from time but Ndoye's header from Oscar Wendt's corner was swept off the line by defender Francisco Rodriguez.
Bony Wilfred struck an injury-time winner as
Sparta claimed a dramatic 3-2 victory away to nine-man
CFR Cluj.
Sparta were in front after just five minutes when Jan Holenda finished with the minimum fuss, left-footing in from the edge of the area.
By the 13th minute, it was 2-0 to Sparta - Holenda doing the necessary again, this time from only six yards, after Ondrej Kusnir had played him in from the right wing.
Cluj tried to respond, and striker Lacina Traore got them back into the match in the 25th minute with a left-footed shot past Jaromir Blazek from just inside the area.
Defender Gabriel Muresan's 64th-minute dismissal for a second booking, after fouling Holenda, gave Sparta handy breathing space.
Then in the 88th minute substitute Bogdan Mara became the second home player to pick up a second yellow card, and it seemed Cluj were doing well to lose by only the odd goal.
Yet in a frantic finish, first substitute Sebastian Dubarbier popped up with the unlikeliest of equalisers in the last minute.
But, after Martin Zeman's right-foot shot hit the post, Sparta did grab the points after all as Wilfred struck from close range in the sixth minute of injury-time.
