On this evening, the second leg matches of the UEFA Europa League semi-finals were played. "Manchester United" hosted Celta Vigo, who were only defeated by a penalty kick from the outstanding Marcus Rashford. However, the Spaniards had nothing to lose, so it was not easy for the injury-plagued "Red Devils" to go to the final. Indeed, the Spaniards dominated in ball control and even had more shots on goal, but Rashford once again reminded everyone of his presence, making an assist to Marouane Fellaini. The Belgian scored with his head and the hosts were leading 1-0 after the first half. Despite that, the visitors did not give up and ultimately managed to equalize in the 86th minute after a corner kick by Sebastian Roncaglia. Nevertheless, that was not enough for the Spaniards, and "Man United" held on and will play the crucial match in Stockholm. Meanwhile, "Lyon" hosted Amsterdam's Ajax, who had lost 4-1 in the away leg. The French team's task of coming back was very difficult, but Bruno Genesio's players had already scored 13 goals in three home matches in the knockout stage. In a closely contested match, Anthony Lopes scored after Amin Younes pass to Kasper Dolberg and it seemed like "Ajax" would confidently reach the final. However, at the end of the first half, a foul by Matthijs De Ligt on Alexandre Lacazette resulted in Lyon equalizing with a penalty kick. Not only that, Lacazette gave his team the advantage just a few moments later, reigniting their hopes of reaching the final. After the break, Lyon continued to seek a convincing victory, and a surprise came towards the end of the match when Rachid Ghezzal scored, and Nick Viergever was sent off for a second yellow card. On the other hand, the team that won the first match also held on here. Ajax did not concede more goals, so Dutch and English representatives will meet in the Europa League final.
