Shakhtar Donetsk and FC Copenhagen are the first two groups to succeed in the Europa League quarter-finals, as the continent’s second-tier festival resumed on Wednesday after a five-month break forced by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Shakhtar beat German club VfL Wolfsburg 5-1 overall after a 3-0 win in the second leg in Kiev, while Copenhagen beat Turkish champions Istanbul Basakshehir 3-0 at home at a 1-0 disadvantage in the first leg.
The next day, Manchester United faces AUSTRIA’s LASK Linz at home after beating him 5-0 in March as Inter Milan reached the Spanish Getafe in an exclusive match after the first leg left by the COVID-19 epidemic.
Shakhtar missed a number of occasions in the first half against Wolfsburg, as both groups were reduced to 10 men at the time after goalkeeper Koen Casteels made a series of very good stops at the Olympic Stadium.
The appearance of the house caused defender Davit Klocholava to be sent off in the 66th minute for a foul, the resulting penalty cap resolution being overturned after a VAR examination showed that he had knocked Joao Victor off the box.
Wolfsburg defender John Anthony Brooks followed in his footsteps four minutes later for a moment of bookable foul and Shakhtar sealed his pass with three quick goals in the final minutes.
Junior Moraes broke the impasse in the 89th minute by doing a Dodo center and scoring the third in the time off moments after replacement Manor Solomon reached 2-0 with a clinical finish.
Two goals from striker Jonas Wind and winger Rasmus Falk gave Copenhagen the win against Istanbul and staged a very likely matchup against Manchester United in the eighth round, which will be played from 10-21 August in 4 German cities.
The wind sent an unstoppable header in the fourth minute in front of goalkeeper Mert Gunok thanks to an excellent centre of right-back Guillermo Varela, then switched penalties in the 53rd minute after Mehmet Topal put the ball in the area.
Falk put the icing on the cake to Copenhagen with a very good individual effort at 62, beating Gunok with a good shot from the edge of the penalty domain after a sting through the middle.
The last eight, to be played in Cologne, Duisburg, Gelsenkirchen and Dusseldorf, will feature one-match matches, and the last scheduled for 21 August in Cologne.
