Ryan Donk's injury-time winner capped a stunning comeback by Club Brugge, who hit back from 3-0 down to win 4-3 at Maribor and boost their chances of qualifying from UEFA Europa League Group H.
The visitors looked down and out when the Slovenians stormed ahead with Dalibor Volas opening the scoring in the 11th minute and a Donk own goal and a second from Volas making it 3-0 with 68 minutes gone.
But two goals in three minutes from Moroccan Nabil Dirar gave Brugge hope and after Joseph Akpala equalised on 81 minutes, Donk fired home in added time to give his side a famous win.
The amazing victory means Club Brugge go into their final group match against Braga knowing a draw will be enough to earn them a place in the knockout phase at the expense of Birmingham. Braga secured their qualification with a 1-0 win over the npower Championship side with Hugo Viana striking a 51st-minute winner.
Ukrainians Metalist confirmed their qualification at the top of Group G with an emphatic 4-1 win over Austria Vienna, who still have a chance to join them after AZ slipped up against group whipping boys Malmo.
AZ would have joined Metalist in the knockout stage with a win in Malmo, but gifted the Swedes their first point in a goalless draw. AZ still know a win in their final game at home to Metalist will be enough.
Atletico Madrid booked their passage from Group I with a 1-0 win over Celtic in Glasgow. Arda Turan scored the winner on the half-hour for the visitors, but Celtic were handed a lifeline with the news Udinese could only manage a goalless draw at Rennes meaning Celtic will head to Italy for their final group game next month in the knowledge that a win will send them through.
