Defined the eight teams qualified for the Conference League quarterfinals
.
In addition to Fiorentina, Betis Sevilla, Chelsea, Jagielonia, Legia Warsaw, Celje, Rapid Vienna and Djurgarden will also pull off the pass for the Conference League quarterfinals.
No problem for Betis Sevilla, which after a 2-2 draw in the first leg, overwhelmed Vitoria Guimaraes in the return leg with a peremptory 0-4, thanks to Bakambu’s double and goals from Santos and Isco.
Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea also advanced without too much trouble, as they s’d narrowly beat Copenhagen in the return leg, ending the doubleheader with an overall result of 3-1.
Great show of strength by Djurgarden, which after losing 0-1 in the first act, è managed to overturn, at home, Pafos with a clear 3-0. On target for the Swedes were Fallenius, Stensson and Nguen.
Cercle Brugge, on the other hand, failed to make a comeback, and after the 0-3 loss in Poland, did not go beyond a 2-0 success against Jagiellonia in Belgium.
Rapid Vienna needed the extra time to file away Borac Banja Luka. Ending 2-2, the double-header in the 180-minute aggregate, è a goal by Schaub in 96′ to open wide the doors of the quarterfinals to the Austrian team.
Also needing extra time was Legia Warsaw, which managed to overturn the 2-3 loss suffered in Sweden at the hands of Molde, thanks to a goal by Gual in 108′.
Everything happens, finally, in the challenge between Lugano and Celje, which ends with a pyrotechnic 4-3 in favor of the Swiss team that gives itself the chance to qualify on penalties. The shots from the penalty spot, however, were fatal for the hosts, who were condemned by the mistakes of Steffen and Przybylko.
In the quarterfinals, Betis Sevilla will meet Jagiellonia and the winner of this match will face in the semifinals whoever triumphs in the match between Fiorentina and Celje. On the other side of the table, however, Chelsea will face Legia Warsaw, while Djurgarden will face Rapid Vienna.
