The 1-0 winner in the penultimate round of the league phase was scored by defender Wilfried Singo, who, like Zakaria, returned to the team after an injury lay-off. Thanks to their success against the eighth-placed team in the Premier League, AS Monaco, coached by former YB manager Adi Hütter, are now level on points with Aston Villa in 9th place.
Atalanta Bergamo are in an even better position. The Europa League winners are now in the top 8 in the table after beating Sturm Graz 5-0 (with Gregory Wüthrich).
