Round-up: Inter beaten again
- Updated: September 29, 2016
Three-time champions Inter Milan face a battle to get through Europa League Group K after a second successive defeat.
A 3-1 setback against Sparta Prague followed up a 2-0 loss to Hapoel Be’er Sheva to leave Inter pointless and bottom of the group, four points behind Hapoel and Southampton, who drew 0-0 in Israel.
Vaclac Kadlec’s first-half brace set Sparta on their way and though Inter captain Rodrigo Palacio pulled one back, Mario Holek quickly put the game to bed.
Krasnodar and Schalke took a stranglehold on Group I after each recording their second straight win.
The Russian side won 5-2 against Nice as Joaozinho’s double added to Fedor Smolov’s opener. Nice twice pulled within one, through first Mario Balotelli and then Wylan Cyprien, but substitute Ari’s late double secured victory.
Schalke beat Salzburg 3-1 with goals from Leon Goretzka and Naldo either side of Duje Caleta-Car’s own goal. Jonatan Soriano pulled one back for the Austrians.
Fiorentina were also comfortable winners, beating 10-man Qarabag 5-1 to top Group J. Khouma Babacar and Mauro Zarate scored twice each, with Nikola Kalinic also on target. Dino Ndlovu scored in injury time for Qarabag, who had Elvin Yunuszada sent off after half an hour.
