LONDON, Dec. 16 (Xinhua) -- Fulham managed to advance into the Europa League last 32 after Bobby Zamora's double earned the Premier League side a 3-2 win at FC Basel on Wednesday.

    Fulham shrugged off the falling snow to record a memorable victory over the Swiss and become the third English club to make it into the knockout stages, joining Everton and Liverpool.

    They had travelled to Switzerland one point behind Basel in third, with AS Roma already having secured top place, in Group E.

    Fulham finished the group matches on ten points, one behind the Italians, who beat CSKA Sofia 3-0 in Bulgaria.

    Zamora had a goal disallowed for offside after 16 minutes but three minutes from the break he had Fulham in front when he steered home Bjorn Helge Riise's cross with his left foot.

    Two minutes later Riise crossed for Zamora again, who finished with his head for his fourth goal in three games.

    Basel were back in the game after the hour mark when Alexander Frei's spotkick, awarded for Chris Smalling's handball, beat Fulham's Australian goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer.

    On 77 minutes, Zoltan Gera settled Fulham manager Roy Hodgson's nerves, side footing the ball in from Stephen Kelly's pullback.

    Marco Streller's header from a corner into the far post three minutes from time was not enough for home fans to cheer up as Fulham held on to keep their European adventure firmly alive.

    In Group D, the German Bundesliga bottom side Hertha Berlin qualified as runners-up with a 1-0 win over table-toppers Sporting Lisbon.

    Group F's final round of matches saw Greek side Panathinaikos join already qualified Galatasaray in the next round after grabbing second place with a 3-0 victory over Dinamo Bucharest.
