ANKARA

Edin Visca's late goal gave Turkey's Medipol Basaksehir a narrow advantage Thursday against FC Copenhagen of Denmark in the UEFA Europa League round of 16. Medipol Basaksehir defeated Copenhagen 1-0 with Visca's penalty goal in minute 88 at the Basaksehir Fatih Terim Stadium in Istanbul.

The win kept hope alive for the Turkish to move to the Europa League quarter finals ahead of the second-leg clash in Denmark on March 19 at Parken Stadium in Copenhagen.

If Medipol Basaksehir eliminates Copenhagen, it will reach the quarterfinal for the first time in the UEFA Europa League.
