Plzen beat Madrid to top group

Viktoria Plzen have topped Europa League Group B thanks to a 1-0 victory over Atletico Madrid at the Struncovy Sady.

Both sides had already qualified for the knockout stages of the competition before the match, but victory for Plzen has seen them take the group by three points.

The home side went ahead with 26 minutes on the clock as Vaclav Prochazka headed in Michal Duris's cross.

Diego Costa saw his effort saved midway through the second half before Raul Garcia fired twice during a spell of Madrid pressure.

However, Madrid finished the game a man down after Costa was given his marching orders.
