Slovan Liberec 0 – 0 FK Crvena Zvezda
SAN FRANCISCO, December 11, (THEWILL) – This largely uneventful final group stage match was only good enough for the stalemate result it ended with. Crvena Zvezda perhaps created the better chances but were not sharp enough to find a way past Liberec.
However, the results mean the Serbians join Hoffenheim in the round of 32, with Liberec finishing third in Group L on seven points.
Hoffenheim 4 – 1 Gent
Hoffenheim wrapped up their Group L campaign in style with a second 4-1 victory against Gent, who join the small band of teams to lose all six matches in a UEFA Europa League group stages.
Maximilian Beier was the most eye-catching of several fine performances in the home ranks, scoring twice and providing an assist, as Hoffenheim laid down a marker ahead of Monday’s draw for the knockout stages.
Group L Standings
