Sports Mole rounds up the early kickoffs in the Europa League this evening.

Lazio, Levante and Genk have all qualified for the next round of the Europa League following tonight's early kickoffs.

Lazio hosted Tottenham Hotspur in the stand-out tie of the round, but were unable to find a way past Hugo Lloris in the Spurs goal and were forced to settle for a 0-0 draw.

Panathinaikos's 1-0 win over Maribor in the same group means that a point was enough to send the Italians through, however, while Spurs need a point against the Greeks to book their place in the next round.

Levante recorded a 3-1 away win against Helsingborg to ensure that they will join Hannover in progressing into the knockout stages from Group L after FC Twente could only manage a draw with the German side.

Genk, meanwhile, beat Videoton 1-0 away from home to put their names in the draw for the next round, while Basel's 3-0 win over Sporting puts the Swiss side in pole position to join Genk in progressing from the group.

Metalist Kharkiv took full advantage of opponents Bayer Leverkusen having already qualified, beating the Germans 2-0 to join them in the next round.

Rubin Kazan recorded arguably the best result of the round, beating Italian giants Inter Milan 3-0, while fellow Russian side Anzhi Makhachkala all but qualified courtesy of a 2-0 win over 10-man Udinese.
