The Germans completed an emphatic second leg performance to enter the semi-finals of European football for the first time since 2002. The first leg of this match ended 1-1, back in Germany last Thursday.

Moussa Diaby gave Leverkusen the lead in the first half, before Mitchell Bakker doubled their advantage before halftime. Jeremie Frimpong made it 3-0 in the second half.

The hosts pulled one goal back thanks to Casper Terho but that was meaningless as Adam Hlozek made it four for Leverkusen.

“We are happy: with the game, with the way we started, with the early goal.” Leverkusen head coach Xabi Alonso told UEFA.

“It gave us comfort. Overall, the performance was solid and professional, with good play against opponents who play very good football.” He spoke.

“Leverkusen were very strong, especially in the first half. They immediately punished us when we gave something away.” Union Saint-Gilloise head coach Karel Geraerts spoke.

“I am very proud of my team. We tried to push to get back into the match, but unfortunately, they scored a third goal.

“After that little knockout we came back with a goal, and suddenly you felt that anything was possible if we could find a second one.” He confirmed.

The Germans will take on AS Roma in the next round. Bayer Leverkusen Enter the Semi-Finals of The UEFA Europa League!
