Europa Conference League: Olympiakos Shock Aston Villa, Fiorentina Edge Brugge

Olympiakos’ Argentinian midfielder #32 Santiago Hezze celebrates with teammates after scoring their fourth goal during the UEFA Europa Conference League semi final first leg football match between Aston Villa and Olympiakos at Villa Park in Birmingham, central England, on May 2, 2024. Ayoub El Kaabi scored a hat-trick as Olympiakos stunned Aston Villa 4-2 on Thursday to close in on the final of the Europa Conference League on home soil in Athens later this month.

Olympiakos showed no signs of nerves in their first ever European semi-final with El Kaabi taking his tally for the season to 30 goals. Ollie Watkins reduced the deficit with his 27th goal of the season in first-half stoppage time before Moussa Diaby levelled when he caught out Konstantinos Tzolakis at his near post

Luiz had the chance to atone for his earlier error and set up a grandstand finish when Villa were awarded a penalty six minutes from time. Last season’s finalists went ahead early on in spectacular style through Riccardo Sottil’s curling effort.
