Lazio's hopes of making the last 32 of the Europa League were dashed by a 2-0 defeat at Rennes while Borussia Monchengladbach were also eliminated.

Joris Gnagnon netted twice for Rennes as the Italians slipped to their fourth defeat in six group games.

Bundesliga leaders Borussia Monchengladbach followed Lazio out of the door after losing 2-1 at home to Istanbul Basaksehir after Enzo Crivelli's injury-time winner, with Roma joining the Turkish side in the draw following their 2-2 home draw with Wolfsberger.

Malmo progressed as Group B winners after a 1-0 victory at FC Copenhagen, who finished second, while Dynamo Kiev and Lugano drew 1-1 in Ukraine.

Goals from Silvan Widmer and Valentin Stocker either side of half-time saw FC Basel beat Trabzonspor 2-0 to head Group C, and they will be accompanied by Getafe, who were 3-0 home winners over Krasnodar.

Vujadin Savic ruined Sevilla's perfect Group A record as he fired APOEL Nicosia to a 1-0 victory over the La Liga side with both progressing at the expense of Qarabag and Dudelange, who drew 1-1 in Baku.
