The Europa League quarter-finals are in the rearview mirror after the last two clubs reserved their posts for the semi-finals on Tuesday. Shakhtar Donetsk and Sevilla, who could face each other in the final, qualify for the quarter-finals after beating FC Basel and Wolverhampton Wanderers respectively.
Here’s what you want to know and see of the day’s action:
Sevilla took a while despite breaking up for the Wolves’ defense, as well as the Spanish national team’s inability to score, but they were still able to put the ball at the bottom of the net thanks to Lucas’ hard header. Mr. Ocampos.
Alan Patrick shows the right way to execute a penalty On very rare occasions an exaggerated race to execute a penalty is rewarded, but every time the play works, the goals become something beautiful, as the Shakhtar midfielder has shown with his clinical finish.
Adama Traoré makes the race of his life The guy from the Wolves has achieved one of the most impressive races in this year’s Europa League competition. Even if this led to a purpose in itself, it is still surprising.
Keep in mind some of the notable performances of the day, being one the worst and 10 perfection:
Ever Banega, Seville The midfielder challenged his teammates to finish one of their good passes to the bottom of the net, and yet it happened two minutes from the end of regular time. But if his teammates had been even more clinical, it’s possible they’d only scored three or four. He leads the entire Seville attack and is expected to be very rewarded. SCORE: 8
Wolves goalkeeper Rui Patricio did everything he could to prevent his opposing parts from scoring. He denied a good move by Youssef En-Nesyri and the sensible thing to do was a banega free kick that would have curled up in the most sensible corner if he hadn’t been. He had no chance of opposing Ocampos’ head, so it can’t be entirely on him. SCORE: 7
Marlos, Shakhtar The Brazilian midfielder needed to be on the field tonight, as he was allegedly concerned in each and every attack of his team striker. He was even directly concerned in the first two goals scored through his team. SCORE: 8.5
The UEFA Europa League returns this weekend to whom it will play in the last of the competition. Again, it’s a game thing.
