Torino followed fellow Italian football clubs Inter Milan, Fiorentina and Napoli into the last 32 of the Europa League.

Torino beat nine-man Copenhagen 5-1 Thursday to finish second to Club Brugge, who edged Helsinki 2-1, reported Xinhua.

Elsewhere, Dynamo Moscow became the sixth team in the competition's history to win all six group matches as Aleksei Ionov scored in the 90th minute for a 1-0 success at PSV Eindhoven, who took second spot in Group E.

Defending champion Sevilla advanced with a 1-0 win at home to Rijeka, but had to settle for second place in Group G.

Dutch side Feyenoord topped the group after winning 3-0 at Standard Liege.

In Group A, Borussia Monchengladbach and Villarreal advanced with wins over Zurich and Apollon Limassol, respectively.

Dnipro claimed second in Group F by beating St. Etienne 1-0; and in Group C, Besiktas leapfrogged Tottenham Hotspur for their first with a 1-0 win in Turkey in a match twice delayed by lighting failure.

French club Guingamp reached the knockout phase for the first time with a 2-1 win at Greek side PAOK, as Claudio Beauvue scored both goals for the visitors.

Guingamp finished second to Fiorentina in Group K, even though they lost 1-2 at home to Dinamo Minsk.

Olympiakos, Liverpool, Zenit St. Petersburg, Anderlecht, Ajax, Sporting Lisbon and Athletic Bilbao also dropped down from the Champions League.

The round of 32 draw will be held Monday at UEFA headquarters in Switzerland.
