Conference, Aston Villa and Olympiakos advance to penalties. Everything easy for Club Brugge

Not just Fiorentina’s victory over Viktoria Plzen. A lot of emotions have come from the second leg of the Conference League quarter-finals, especially regarding the match between Lille And Aston Villa. After Zaniolo’s injury, the match went to penalties after the French doubled the lead with Yazici (15′) and Andre (67′) recovered at the end by Cash (87′).

Lille-Aston Villa and the “Martinez case”

The match ended 3-3 on aggregate and the penalty shootout was decisive Dibu Martinez after a rather unusual episode: the Argentine goalkeeper was booked after silencing the home fans, but had already received a yellow card during the match (READ HERE WHYAND NOT HE WAS EXPELLED). From the spot he managed to hypnotize Bentaleb and Andre, on the first and last attempt.

PAOK and Olympiakos pass

In Greece, however, the Club Brugge closed the score in the first half against PAOK Thessaloniki: a brace from Jutgla and a double match ended at 3-0 for the Belgian team, who will face Fiorentina in the semi-final. Finally, the other pairing is Aston Villa-Olympiakos: the Greeks, in fact, beat Fenerbahce on penalties after the Turks went 1-0 in regulation time. The error from the spot was decisive Leonardo Bonucci.
