GOATropa League group stage finishes today.

All Times CST

Group A
Feyenoord - Fenerbahçe, noon
Zorya - Manchester United, noon

The sitch: Fenerbahçe and Manchester United need just a point to qualify for last 32. Feyenoord must win and hope United lose to Zorya to advance. Fener win the group with a victory. United can win group with draw and Fener loss or win and Fener loss or draw.

Group B
APOEL - Olympiacos, noon
Young Boys - Astana, noon

The sitch: APOEL and Olympiacos have qualified for last 32. APOEL win group with win or draw. Olympiacos must win at APOEL to win group.

Group C
Anderlecht - Saint-Étienne, noon
Mainz - Qabala, noon

The sitch: Anderlecht and Saint-Étienne have qualified for last 32. Anderlecht win group with win or draw. ASSE must win at Anderlecht to win group.

Group D
AZ Alkmaar - Zenit, noon
Maccabi Tel Aviv - Dundalk, noon

The sitch: Zenit have qualified for last 32 as group winners. AZ advance to last 32 with win vs. Zenit. AZ can qualify with a draw if Maccabi Tel Aviv vs. Dundalk ends in a draw. If that game produces a winner, AZ must win to qualify. Possibility of three-way tie on 5 points favors Maccabi Tel Aviv (I think...that one hurt my head).

Group E
Astra - Roma, noon
Viktoria Plzen - Austria Wien, noon

The sitch: Roma have qualified for last 32 as group winners. Astra can advance with a win. If Astra draw, they can advance if Austria Wien fails to beat Viktoria Plzen. Austria Wien can advance with a win and an Astra loss/draw.

Group F
Rapid Wien - Athletic Bilbao, noon
Sassuolo - Genk, noon

The sitch: Genk and Athletic Bilbao have qualified for last 32. Sides are level on nine points. Genk have H2H tiebreaker with Athletic for top spot.

Group G
Panathinaikos - Celta de Vigo, 2:05 p.m.
Standard Liège - Ajax, 2:05 p.m.

The sitch: Ajax have qualified for last 32 as group winners. Standard Liège and Celta level on 6 points. Tiebreaker between two would be goal differential within group as both H2H matches finished 1-1.

Group H
Braga - Shakhtar Donetsk, 10 a.m.
Konyaspor - Gent, 10 a.m.

The sitch: Shakhtar have qualified for last 32 as group winners. Braga qualify with a win. Braga also qualify with a draw if Gent fail to beat Konyaspor. Gent qualify with win and Braga loss/draw. If sides finish level on points, Braga hold H2H tiebreaker over Gent.

Group I
Nice - Krasnodar, 2:05 p.m.
RB Salzburg - Schalke, 2:05 p.m.

The sitch: Schalke have qualified for last 32 as group winners. Krasnodar have qualified for last 32 as runners-up. Games are dead rubber.

Group J
PAOK - Slovan Liberec, 10 a.m.
Qarabag - Fiorentina, 10 a.m.

The sitch: Fiorentina need a point to advance and qualify as group winners. It's complicated after that. There is the possibility of a 3-way tie on 10 points if Qarabag and PAOK win.

Group K
Inter Milan - Sparta Prague, 2:05 p.m.
Southampton - Hapoel Beer Sheva, 2:05 p.m.

The sitch: Inter done fricked up and been knocked out already. Sparta through to last 32 as group winners. Winner of Saints-Hapoel advances to last 32. If a 0-0 draw, Saints advance. Any other draw, Hapoel advance on H2H away goals.

Group L
Osmanlispor - Zürich, 10 a.m.
Villarreal - Steaua, 10 a.m.

The sitch: All four teams are alive and any combination of two could advance. I'm not figuring it out. Fight me.

Assuming the United game is going ahead? Saw on twitter the pitch is like an ice sheet and officials weren't sure if it was playable.

Fellaini comes on the pitch, Zorya immediately gets their best chances of the match. I'm not saying it's the reason, but I'm also not going to say it's not the reason...

Kind of depressing to see the United faithful getting excited about goals against Zorya in the Europa League.
