Europa Conference League: Olympiakos takes out Aston Villa and joins Fiorentina in the final

Olympiakos qualified for the Europa Conference League final on Thursday by beating Aston Villa 2-0, and will face Fiorentina in the final on May 29 in Athens. The hero of this semi-final is Moroccan and his name is Ayoub El Kaabi. Author of a hat-trick in the first leg during the Greeks' 4-2 victory in England, he again scored both goals for his team on Thursday.

The Piraeus players got off to a perfect start, opening the score in the 10th minute. As in the first leg, the English coached by Unai Emery dominated in vain. They created almost no clear chances, like Moussa Diaby, unable to exploit his team's best situation, at the end of the first period, due to a lack of spontaneity to launch his partner Matty Cash in front of the goal. (41st).

El Kaabi nailed the coffin for the English in the 78th minute, with a shot passed between the goalkeeper's legs. The VAR took its time to validate the goal, the Moroccan international being on the verge of offside, but the favorable decision definitively sent the Piraeus players to the final.

At home, they will challenge the Italians Fiorentina, who qualified on Wednesday by snatching a 1-1 draw at the end of the match in Bruges, after winning the first leg 3-2 at home.
