Manchester United 1-0 Copenhagen
Manchester United – Bruno Fernandes 95′(pen)

Many might have expected a ‘walk in the park’ when Manchester United took on Copenahagen, but it was far from it.
It took an extra-time penalty (converted by Bruno Fernandes) for Manchester United to skip the penalty kick-off and advance at the expense of Copenhagen.

Bruno Fernandes goal moves him to the top of the pile in the list of goalscorers in the competition. (7goals)

 

Leading goalscorers left in the competition.

Basel – Ricky van Wolfswinkel 90+2′

An early goal, a 2-0 lead at the break, and not conceding a goal in regulation time. Shakhtar Donetsk convincingly booked their place in the semifinals with a 4-1 win against Basel.

 

 

Wolves 0-1 Sevilla
Sevilla – Lucas Ocampos 88′

A Raul Jimenez missed penalty in the 13th-minute came back to bite Wolves when Sevilla grabbed a late winning goal.

Wolves defence held on until Lucas Ocampos redirected a cross into the net to score the only goal of the match for Sevilla to advance to the semifinal.

For a final that won’t involve only teams from Europe’s top 5 leagues, Shakhtar Donetsk must beat Inter Milan.
