Meanwhile, Real Betis and Portuguese outfit Vitoria Guimaraes played out a dramatic 2-2 draw in Spain.
Following a goalless opening half, Cedric Bakambu put Betis ahead in the 48th minute, only for Joao Saraiva to equalize three minutes later.
Former Real Madrid midfielder Isco seemed to have sealed the win for the Andalusian club with a goal in the 75th minute, but Nelson Oliveira struck in the final 10 minutes to ensure Vitoria heads into the second leg on level terms.
