Joseph double, Zachariassen the provider
Joseph opened the scoring in the 52nd minute after a pass from Kristoffer Zachariassen, and the same combination created the second goal in the 66th minute. AC Milan introduced Christian Pulisic at the start of the second half and later brought on Luka Modrić, but the hosts could not break down Ferencváros' organised defending and suffered an unexpected home defeat.
In Sofia, Levski secured a late 1:0 victory over Poland's Jagiellonia. Stivan Stoyanchov struck in the 83rd minute, converting a David Kusso assist to give Levski three points at the National Stadium "Vasil Levski." Nikola Serafimov remained among the substitutes.
