LONDON (AP) - Defending champion Atletico Madrid was one of 13 teams to advance to the knockout stage in the Europa League on Thursday, while Liverpool must wait after conceding a stunning late equalizer to Young Boys.

Raul Garcia scored early in Atletico's 1-0 victory over Hapoel Tel Aviv, allowing the Spanish side to reach the last 32 from Group B with Viktoria Plzen.

Napoli, Lazio and wealthy Russian club Anzhi Makhachkala were among the other sides to advance, leaving five qualifying places up for grabs in the final round of games in two weeks.

Liverpool will hope to join Anzhi from Group A, but needs to beat Udinese on the road to make sure after being held to a 2-2 tie by Young Boys at Anfield.

American Terrence Boyd put Rapid Vienna ahead 2-1 when he scored in the 67th minute, his 11th goal of the season, but the visitors allowed a pair of late goals to Tarik Elyounossi and Rade Prica and lost 3-2 at Rosenborg. Fellow American Mix Diskerud got a yellow card in the 71st for the hosts.
