Uefa Cup results Helsingborg 1-1 Panionios Bordeaux 2-1 Galatarasay Olivier Karekezi was an unused substitute when his Swedish club Helsingborg IF was held to a 1-1 draw at home by Greek side Panionios GSS. Swedish veteran striker Henrik Larsson scored a late equalizer to cancel out Fanourios Goundoulakis’s first-half opener for Panionios GSS and spare Helsingborg the disappointment of an opening Group H defeat. The Allsvenskan side seemed destined for a surprise reverse after Goundoulakis struck a sublime opener in first-half stoppage time. The culmination of a barrage of attacks from the visitors, the strike proved to be Panionios’s last meaningful contribution before Larsson, profiting from Christoffer Andersson’s cross, pounced seven minutes from time. Panionios still had the chance to seal the points through Ioannis Kondis, but Daniel Andersson rescued his side with a superb save. However, Karekezi who had been promised to start the game by his coach Stuart Baxter could only watch the entire match from the bench. The Amavubi Stars captain scored two goals in the qualifiers but has failed to regain his best form since recovering from a knee injury last month. Elsewhere, Fc Girondins de Bordeaux defeated Galatasaray SK 2-1 at home in the other group H game. Ends
