Dynamo Moscow became the first football team to reach the knockout stages of the Europa League as they maintained their perfect record in the group stage with a 1-0 win over Portuguese side Estoril.
Substitute Kevin Kuranyi scored in the 77th minute with his first touch of Thursday's game after Mathieu Valbuena and William Vainqueur combined to tee him up to net from close range.
The victory meant Dynamo moved on to 12 points from their four Group E games, five clear of second place PSV Eindhoven, who beat Panathinaikos 3-2 on Thursday.
Elsewhere, German side VfL Wolfsburg beat FC Krasnodar 5-1 to leave the southern Russian team bottom of Group H on two points, behind France's Lille (three points), Wolfsburg (seven points) and English side Everton (eight points).

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
