Zaragoza came from a goal down to beat Dnipro 2-1 in a rain-soaked Romareda stadium, and they now have to draw against Club Brugge in their last game to be sure of qualifying for the next stage.

The visitors were looking for a point to ensure top spot in the group, and they took the lead in only the first minute when Yezerskyy beat Luis García following a free kick. But Savio equalised with a free kick soon afterwards, and after that the Spaniards were on top.

Alvaro brought a good save out of Kernozenko with a header from a corner and had another effort cleared off the line by a defender only a minute or so later, and Movilla and Savio both hit the crossbar after the restart, the former with a free kick and the latter with a shot from close up.

By now conditions were virtually unplayable, and it looked as if the Ukrainians were heading for the draw they wanted. But Generelo came on to win it for the locals with a strike from 30 metres out with a quarter of an hour left on the clock, and when Matiukhin was sent off for a second bookable offence near the end the three points were in the bag.
