BARCELONA, Spain -- Spanish sides Valencia, Sevilla and Real Betis booked their spots in the Europa Leagues round of 32 on Thursday, while Tottenham locked up first place in its group with a fifth victory in as many matches. Tottenham claimed top spot in Group K by winning 2-0 at Tromso after defender Adnan Causevic scored an own goal before Mousa Dembele put the result beyond doubt. Valencia made sure it will finish first in Group A with a 1-0 win at Swansea thanks to an early goal from Dani Parejo. Lyon edged Betis 1-0, but both teams advanced from Group I after Rijeka drew 0-0 with Guimaraes. Sevilla also moved on from Group H even though it conceded a 90th-minute equalizer at home to Portuguese side Estoril in a 1-1 draw. Lazio, Genk, AZ Alkmaar, POAK, Rubin Kazan, Trabzonspor, Anzhi, and Ludogorets Razgrad also qualified for the knockout rounds with one group game to go. Beside the 24 teams to emerge from the group phase, the eight teams that finish in third place in their Champions League groups will also join the next round of Europes second-tier club competition. Valencias Parejo put in a deflected attempt by Juan Bernat after Swansea goalkeeper Gerhard Tremmel punched out a corner to grab the lead for good in the 20th minute. Sevilla had a bright start seven minutes in when Jose Antonio Reyes sparked a lightning attack with a pass for forward Kevin Gameiro to hit on the break. But Estoril won the ball in the second half and pressed Sevilla into its box until a short delivery from Javier Balboa led to Ruben Fernandes squirting a shot under goalkeeper Javi Varas on the brink of stoppage time. "We played well in the first half, but then we relaxed and paid for it," said Reyes. Freiburgs 2-1 win at Liberec means that it can qualify by beating Sevilla in the last round. In Lyon, forward Bafetimbi Gomis tapped in a squared ball from Yoann Gourcuff in the 66th to down Betis. Tottenham had already been guaranteed the top spot in its group when Russian club Anzhi could do no better than a 1-1 draw with FC Sheriff. The draw was also good enough to send Anzhi though. But the English side played through sub-zero temperatures and a dusting of snow at its northern Norwegian hosts to extend its winning run. Tottenham went ahead in the 63rd when defender Vlad Chiriches got a touch on a cross from Gylfi Sigurdsson, sending the ball off Causevic and into the net. Dembele scored his goal after receiving a pass from Sigurdsson near the penalty spot, where he fired into the left corner. Turkish team Trabzonspor and Lazio both advanced after comfortable wins. Trabzonspor only needs a draw to with Lazio in their final meeting to finish first in Group J. Olcan Adin was the nights leading scorer with a hat trick to lead Trabzonspor to a 4-2 win over Apollon, while Lazio won 2-0 at Legia Warsaw after goals by Brayan Perea and Felipe Anderson. About 120 Lazio fans were detained before the match after attacking police vans, authorities said. Rubin Kazan advanced from Group D after drawing 1-1 with Maribor. Ludogorets Razgrad won Group B by handing 10-man PSV a 2-0 loss at home. Eintracht Frankfurt claimed first place in Group F by beating Girondins Bordeaux 1-0 on the road. Genks comeback 3-1 win to beat Dynamo Kyiv earned it top spot in Group G.

Having won the first leg 1-0 in Barcelona, Madrid entered the match at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium already in control and quickly sealed its place in the semifinals when Jese Rodriguez scored in the seventh minute.Leon Draisaitl stands in a unique position. Draisaitl, the Edmonton Oilers No. 3 overall selection who doesnt turn 19 until Oct. 27, is tentatively slotted in the No. 2 position at centre, with only Ryan Nugent-Hopkins ahead of him. Fellow 2014 Canadian team picks Nikolaj Ehlers (Winnipeg) and William Nylander (Toronto) will be watched carefully this fall, but none begins so potentially high in the lineup. TSN.ca is monitoring Draisaitls training camp performance closely, with Edmonton bureau chief Ryan Rishaug filing regular reports. Wednesday, Sept. 24 - Edmonton vs. Winnipeg - Draisaitl took a small step backwards Wednesday night with a mediocre performance in Winnipeg. Draisaitl looked sluggish right from the start (perhaps due to an endurance test Tuesday) and was lacking the creativity and poise he displayed in the game against Calgary. Draisaitl finished with one shot on net in 15:45 of ice time and won just five of 17 face offs. He also turned the puck over a number of times, including in the final minute of a one goal game. Five-on-five he generated little in the way of offence. Day 5 Assessment: Continues to work hard, but below average night at both ends of the ice. He was outplayed by fellow youngsters Bogdan Yakimov and Vladimir Tkachev. Tuesday, Sept. 23 - On-ice testing It was the dreaded RHIET (repeat high intensity endurance test) at camp, but Draisaitl looked strong throughout his six sprints up and down the ice. During the practice portion of the day, he skated on a line with Benoit Pouliot and 5-foot-9, 141 pound winger Russian Vladamir Tkachev. All three are expected to play together Wednesday in Winnipeg - the first game for Draisaitl without offensive winger David Perron on his line. Day 4 Assessment Draisaitl made it through the endurance test on two feet with all his equipment on and kept up with his group. Thats a good day for any player. Monday, Sept. 22 - Off-day Sunday, Sept. 21 - Edmonton vs. Calgary Draisaitl made a fantastic play on his first shift, sending a perfect cross ice pass to Marco Roy for the games opening goal. Once again playing on a line with David Perron and Benoit Pouliot, they spent most of the night in the offensive zone, Draisaitl creating several scoring chances with his patience and poise. Draisaitl nearly set up another goal in the second period, forcing a turnover in the offensive corner and finding a defenceman in the high slot who fired wide. Draisaitl saw some time on the penalty kill and the power play, making intelligent plays with the majority of his touches. Defensively he is trying to do the right things, coming back deep into his own zone to help out, and putting himself in good spotts for the breakout.dddddddddddd He saw time on the power play and penalty kill and made intelligent plays with the majority of his touches. He was 8-5 (62 per cent) in the faceoff circle. Day 3 Assessment - An excellent start to his exhibition season. As the pace around him goes up, Draisaitl is having no trouble elevating his game. Saturday, Sept. 20 - Practice It was back to work early for Draisaitl at an 8:30am practice conducted by Dallas Eakins. The entire Oiler braintrust, from Kevin Lowe down to the scouting staff, eyeballed the proceedings from their corner perch. Draisaitl continues to look at ease skating on a line with David Perron and Benoit Pouliot. He handled the puck with confidence during line rushes and made sharp tape-to-tape passes. When practice wrapped up, Drasaitl was directed to the faceoff circle by Eakins for faceoff pointers from AHL veteran centre Will Acton. Day 2 Assessment Overall, a solid day at practice, though Sunday night will be the biggest test yet as he will likely skate in his first NHL exhibition game. Friday, Sept. 19 - First Day On The Ice Draisaitl made the most of an opportunity to play with NHLers David Perron and Benoit Pouliot in a full speed scrimmage. Draisaitls line scored on the games first shift, again in the second half and was by far the best trio throughout the 3-1 win against a team featuring Mark Arcobello and Anton Lander - two players Draisaitl is battling at centre. Draisaitl showed good speed on a backcheck catching winger Nail Yakupov in a foot race and forcing him wide. "He was good, he can distribute the puck, make a play on his forehand and backhand," said head coach Dallas Eakins. "He showed some spurts that he does have some speed. There is room for improvement there, but he shows he can do it and he can certainly move the puck, distribute it and he certainly didnt look out of place on the ice." Day 1 Assessment Overall, it was a good day in which Draisaitl stood out as the best of the centres (No. 1 centre Ryan Nugent-Hopkins didnt play).
