Athletic Bilbao, Eintracht Frankfurt Advance to Europa League Quarterfinals

Posted : 13 March 2025

Athletic Bilbao secured a dramatic 3-1 victory over 10-man Roma in their Europa League last-16 second leg, overturning a first-leg deficit to progress 4-3 on aggregate. Nico Williams played a crucial role, scoring twice, while Roma's challenge was hampered early when Mats Hummels received a red card for a last-man tackle.

 

Bilbao capitalized on their numerical advantage, with Inaki Williams assisting his brother for the opener in first-half stoppage time, followed by a powerful Yuri Berchiche header and a late second from Nico Williams to seal the win, despite a stoppage-time penalty from Leandro Paredes.

 

Lazio also advanced to the quarterfinals after a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Viktoria Plzen, securing a 3-2 aggregate win. Pavel Sulc briefly revived Plzen's hopes by leveling the tie early in the second half, but Alessio Romagnoli restored Lazio's advantage with a decisive header in the 71st minute.

 

 Meanwhile, Eintracht Frankfurt delivered a dominant performance against Ajax, winning 4-1 at home with goals from Jean-Matteo Bahoya, Hugo Ekitike, and a Mario Götze brace, completing a commanding 6-2 aggregate triumph.

 

Elsewhere, Bodo/Glimt progressed past Olympiakos despite a 2-1 loss in Athens, thanks to their 4-2 aggregate lead. Later in the evening, Premier League sides Manchester United and Tottenham faced crucial home fixtures against Real Sociedad and AZ Alkmaar, respectively, in their bids for the quarterfinals.

 

 Chelsea also aimed to secure their spot in the Europa Conference League last eight, holding a 2-1 first-leg lead as they welcomed Copenhagen to Stamford Bridge.
