Tijjani Reijnders proved his worth for AC Milan on Thursday. The Dutch international scored in the 4-2 Europa League match against Slavia Prague. In the Conference League, left back Jayden Oosterwolde was accurate for Fenerbahçe.
Reijnders had the Milan crowd cheering just before half-time when the score was 1-1. The former AZ player picked up a falling ball and shot beautifully into the short corner. It was his third goal in Italian service.
Milan had taken the lead thanks to Olivier Giroud. David Doudera had equalized. Shortly after Reijnders’ goal – before halftime – Ruben Loftus-Cheek made it 3-1. After the break, the Czechs came back through Ivan Schranz, after which Rafael Leão set the final score at 4-2.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang guided Olympique Marseille to a generous 4-0 win over Villarreal with two goals. One goal came from a penalty. Jordan Veretout and Yerson Mosquera (own goals) scored the other goals.
The 34-year-old Aubameyang already scored five times in two matches with Ajax earlier in the tournament. In total he already has nine Europa League goals. No player in any of the three European club tournaments has scored as many times as he has this season.
Furthermore, Benfica-Rangers finished 2-2 and SC Freiburg won 1-0 against West Ham United. In these confrontations, the battle for a quarter-final ticket next week is still completely open.

Oosterwolde scores beautifully for Fenerbahçe
In the Conference League, Oosterwolde made a name for himself at Fenerbahçe. The former left back of FC Twente gained momentum in the final phase of the away match against Union Saint-Gilloise (0-2) and finished well. Michy Batshuayi had given Fenerbahçe the lead.
The 22-year-old Oosterwolde scored his second goal for Fenerbahçe. He scored his first goal in Turkish service in August last year against Twente in the preliminary round of the Conference League.
Of the other Conference League matches on Thursday, Maccabi Haifa-Fiorentina stood out the most. Fiorentina fell behind twice, but won 3-4 thanks to a goal deep in injury time. Antonín Barák scored.
