The Cariocas entered the match against the Americans in a must-win situation after their unexpected defeat by the Czechs, hoping that Greece would win by 12 or more points against the Czech Republic. The USA struggled in the first half, but still won both periods (21-18 and 22-21), keeping Brazilians’ hope still alive. 

In the second half, the Americans switched the tempo and strengthened their defense and the Brazillian deficit rose up as the match continued. Brazil tried their tactics and decided to force the 3-point shots. After that tactic failed, their defeat was imminent as USA went up by 16 points, ending the match with a final score of 89-73. 

Brazil and Greece are eliminated from the next round, as Greece won their match against the Czech Republic, but won’t go through as their victory was in vain and without the necessary point advantage. The Czechs are surprisingly going to the quarter-finals as they managed to lose under 12 points by Greece and remain 2^nd behind USA.

Gunners demolished CSKA from Moscow with 4-1 at Emirates. That result was active at the end of the first 45 minutes. It was appearing that the guests are going to be annihilated because Arsenal could have scored at least two more times.

Atletico Madrid routinely defeated Sporting Lisboa with 2-0. The scenario was the same like in London. Two quick goals and the job was done already after the first half.

Lazio had many problems against stubborn RB Salzburg, but in the end, Simone Inzaghi’s team managed to gain a respectable advantage before the rematch, 4-2.

Toughest game of the night was seen in Germany, where RB Leipzig won minimally against Marseille, 1-0. It was an open match with chances on both sides, but the hosts had more luck.

The home ground advantage was crucial tonight since all four hosts recorded wins. Is that going to be the same in seven days time, we are going to know next Thursday night.
