Napoli, Sociedad, Molde, Alkmaar reach knockout stage in EL

Napoli, Real Sociedad, Molde and Young Boys all secured progression to the Europa League round of 32 on Thursday.

Sociedad's Willian Jose cancelled out Piotr Zielinski's opener for Napoli in a 1-1 draw. The result sees the Serie A side win Group F, while Sociedad are through as runners-up.

They will be joined by Molde, who drew 2-2 at Rapid Vienna. Magnus Wolff Eikrem scored either side of Marcel Ritzmaier's effort before Melih Ibrahimoglu equalized in vain for Vienna. The Norwegian outfit finish second in Group B behind Arsenal, who defeated Dundalk 4-2. The Gunners are the only side to go through the group stage with a 100-per-cent record.

Jean-Pierre Nsame and Gianluca Gaudino netted in injury time to give Young Boys a 2-1 victory over Cluj after Gabriel Debeljuh opened the scoring. In a feisty clash, Young Boys had one man sent off while Cluj received two red cards.

The Swiss side will go through from Group A in second behind Roma despite the latter's 3-1 loss at CSKA Sofia.
