AS Roma secured their place in the Europa League last 16 with a 3-2 home win over 10-man Porto on Thursday thanks to a Paulo Dybala double, advancing 4-3 on aggregate.

The teams drew 1-1 in the first leg in Porto and it was the visitors who took the lead in the 27th minute with an overhead kick from Samu Aghehowa. However, Dybala equalised in the 35th minute and netted again four minutes later.

Porto's Stephen Eustaquio was shown a red card early in the second half after pushing Leandro Paredes. Roma sealed the win through Niccolo Pisilli, despite a late own goal from Devyne Rensch for the visitors.

Galatasaray welcomed AZ Alkmaar and played out a 2-2 draw that had the Dutch side going through.

AZ went two goals up either side of half-time through Seiya Maikuma and Denso Kasius. Victor Osimhen quickly responded for the Turkish side before teammate Roland Sallai scored in the 70th minute.

AZ won 6-3 on aggregate and will play either Manchester United or Tottenham Hotspur in the next round.

Steaua Bucharest also advanced with a 2-0 win over PAOK at home thanks to goals in each half from Juri Cisotti and David Miculescu, sealing a 4-1 aggregate victory.

Bodo/Glimt secured a hard-fought 5-2 extra-time win over Dutch side FC Twente, sealing a 6-4 aggregate victory after three stoppage-time goals brought the tie level.

Sondre Brunstad Fet struck in extra-time, followed by an own goal from Arno Verschueren, sending the Norwegians through.

Fenerbahce sealed their place in the last 16 with a 5-2 aggregate win over Anderlecht, having drawn 2-2 in an interrupted second leg in Belgium, while Ajax Amsterdam scraped through against Union Saint-Gilloise.

Former champions Ajax conceded early against the Belgians and had Davy Klaassen sent off before Union scored again to send the tie to extra-time. A Kenneth Taylor penalty for the Dutch side in the 93rd minute was enough for them to advance 3-2 on aggregate.

Jose Mourinho's Fenerbahce scored in the fourth minute at Anderlecht but the players had to leave the pitch because of crowd disturbances. The match resumed 20 minutes later and ended 2-2, with the Turkish side advancing 5-2 overall.

Czech side Viktoria Plzen beat Hungary's Ferencvaros 3-0 for a 3-1 aggregate victory while Luka Sucic scored twice as Real Sociedad thrashed Midtjylland 5-2 on the night and 7-3 on aggregate.
