UEFA Cup holder Shakhtar Donetsk were knocked out of the Europa League after being held to a 1-1 home draw by Fulham in their round of 32 tie on Thursday.
Former European champion Liverpool and Juventus progressed to the last 16 and Werder Bremen striker Claudio Pizarro scored a hat-trick as his side went through with a 4-1 win over former England manager Steve McLaren's Twente Enschede.
Sixteen-year-old Romelu Lukaku set Anderlecht on the way to a 4-0 win over Athletic Bilbao, one of two Spanish sides to suffer a heavy defeat as Villarreal lost 1-4 at VfL Wolfsburg.
However, Diego Forlan's 90th-minute goal gave Atletico Madrid a 2-1 victory at Galatasaray to send it through 3-2 on aggregate and Valencia beat Club Bruges 3-0 after extra time for a 3-1 aggregate win.
Eight teams had dropped into the competition in this round after failing to qualify in the Champions League and seven went through -- Liverpool, Atletico Madrid, Juventus, Rubin Kazan, VfL Wolfsburg, Standard Liege and Olympique Marseille.
Romanian side Unirea Urziceni was the exception, falling to a 1-3 defeat at home to five-time European champion Liverpool.
Shakhtar coach Mircea Lucescu, whose team was 1-2 behind from the first leg, had billed its tie with Fulham as a duel between his side's "spectacular and skilful" football against the English team's more physical approach. The Ukrainians, who won the final UEFA Cup last season before it was rebranded as the Europa League, had 14 shots to Fulham's two in the first half but it was the visitors who went ahead with a Brede Hangeland header.
Aggregate win
Jadson, one of five Brazilians in the Shakhtar side, swept in the equalizer in the 69th minute but Fulham held on for a 3-2 aggregate win to set up a last 16 tie with Juventus.
Three-time UEFA Cup winner Liverpool won at Unirea despite going behind to a Bruno Fernandes header.
Argentina midfielder Javier Mascherano levelled with a 25-yard drive before Dutch winger Ryan Babel put the visitors ahead with a sharp turn and shot four minutes before halftime. Captain Steven Gerrard completed a 4-1 aggregate victory just before the hour for Liverpool, which now plays French side Lille after it drew 1-1 at Fenerbahce for a 3-2 win overall.
Juventus did the bare minimum to knock out Ajax Amsterdam, a goalless draw at home sending it through 2-1 on aggregate.
German clubs scored a double over Dutch rivals as Werder Bremen's success over Twente was matched by Hamburg SV which eliminated PSV Eindhoven. Pizarro scored twice in a five-minute spell for Werder and completed his hat-trick just before the hour. Naldo notched the other goal in a 4-2 aggregate win.
Hamburg lost 2-3 but went through on away goals after a 3-3 aggregate draw against PSV on an eventful night for the Dutch team's Balasz Dzsudzsak, who scored and was later sent off for pushing the referee.
Vfl Wolfsburg completed a hat-trick of German wins with a 4-1 demolition of Spain's Villarreal for a 6-3 aggregate win.
Panathinaikos scored three times in six minutes before halftime to win 3-2 at AS Roma for a 6-4 aggregate win.
Djibril Cisse scored twice for the Greek side and Sotiris Ninis was on target in between as they wiped out John Arne Riise's trademark free-kick in the 11th minute.
