Thun beat Hearts 3–1 in the Conference League’s third matchday on 5 November, leaving Hearts without a win in 3 European games this season and with 2 defeats.

Brighton’s win at Getafe put the English club fifth, while Monaco joined the leaders. Atalanta came back to draw with Kairat: Marc Gual scored for the visitors in the first half, and Krstović equalized in the 82nd minute.

At the time of the standings reported after the match, Kairat was 26th with 2 points from 3 games and Atalanta was 16th with 4 points. A floodlight failure delayed the start of Midtjylland’s match against Ajax.
