The Europa League quarter-final second legs took place last night with some interesting results with two games featuring five goals.
Sevilla eased into the last four with a 4-1 victory at home to Porto with Rakitic putting them in front with a fifth minute penalty, Perez hit a second in the 26th minute and when Bacca made it 3-0 minutes later, Porto needed a miracle comeback and got a helping hand when Moreno was sent off for Sevilla in the 54th minute.
The extra man advantage didn't help Porto and Sevilla went further in front in the 79th minute when Gameiro struck for 4-0 and 4-1 overall with Porto getting a spectacular consolation when Quaresma scored in the final minute but Sevilla will go on to meet rivals Valencia in the last four.
Valencia completed a staggering aggregate comeback as they went into last night's game with a 0-3 deficit to Basel coming out with a 5-3 overall win. Garcia put the Spaniards in front after 38 minutes with a quick second from Vargas making it 2-0 at half-time and 2-3 on aggregate.
Garcia added his second in the 70th minute and forced extra time with a 3-3 aggregate with both winning 3-0 at home. Basel's hopes were dealt a double blow as Diaz and Sauro were dismissed in the 101st and 105th minutes and when Garcia completed his hat-trick in the 113th minute, Valencia had completed a stunning turnaround and the win was sealed two minutes from the end when Bernat struck for 5-0 and 5-3 overall.
Juventus are only to games away from a 'home final' after a 2-1 win over Lyon resulting in a 3-1 aggregate victory. Pirlo put the Italians in front after only four minutes but Lyon equalised in the 18th minute through Briand to give them hope but that hope look to have ended when Umtiti hit into his own net to put Juve in control and they held on for the win and will meet Benfica in the last four.
Benfica secured at tie against Juventus with a 2-0 win and 3-0 aggregate victory with a double from Rodrigo in the 39th and 71st minute ending AZ's hopes of reaching the last four and means Benfica edge closer to what would be their first UEFA title.
