Villarreal stay top of their group after they came back from two goals down to draw drew 2-2 at Osmanlispor. Ex Sevilla striker Rusescu scored twice for the Turkish side in as many minutes midway through the first half, the first from Vrsajevic cross, and the second with a long shot after Papa N’Diaye won the ball off Jonathan Dos Santos straight from the kick-off. Arikan did well to keep out Santos Borré before the break, but only a good stop from Andrés prevented Rusescu from completing a hat-trick after the restart. A few minutes later however substitute Güven was sent off for pushing over Pato in the area, and although Arikan saved Bruno’s spot kick, Alfred N’Diaye volleyed home the resulting corner. And with a quarter of an hour to go Pato steered home the equalizer after Castillejo and Rukavina combined to set him up down the right wing.
