UEFA Cup: More Round Of 32 Action

The five remaining two-match Round of 32 sets in the UEFA Cup began on Thursday:

At Poznan, Poland:

Two late goals from Hernan Rengifo (81') and Manuel Arboleda (84') enabled Lech Poznan to erase a two-goal deficit and salvage a 2-2 home draw with Italy's Udinese in game one of the two clubs' two-match series.

At Shakhtar, Ukraine:

Yevgen Seleznov (79') and Jadson (88') provided the late scoring punch that lifted Shakhtar Donetsk to a 2-0 home triumph in game one at Tottenham Hotspur's expense.

At Copenhagen, Denmark:

Martin Vingaard scored the game-tying goal (90'+1), to go along with Ailton Almeida's 56th-minute tally, thus enabling FC Copenhagen to salvage a 2-2 game-one home draw with Manchester City. The Citizens, though, have the advantage because of two big road goals in the match, scored by Nedum Onuoha (29') and Stephen Ireland (61').

At Marseille, France:

Marko Arnautovic scored the only goal of the match (2'), lifting FC Twente to a 1-0 series-opening road win over Marseille.

At Florence, Italy:

Kennedy Bakircioglu's goal at 60 minutes was the lone score of game one, which saw Ajax Amsterdam register a 1-0 road win over Fiorentina.
