Manchester, Vereinigtes Königreich - Manchester United has made it into the quarter-finals of the Europa League with an impressive 4-1 home win against Real Sociedad. The game started for the hosts very badly when Matthijs de Ligt fouled the penalty in the penalty area Mikel Oyarzabal and the Basque striker converted the due penalty into 1-0 (10th). But the team led by captain Bruno Fernandes was strong and reacted quickly: Just six minutes later, Fernandes even equalized by transforming a penalty after a foul on Rasmus Höjlund (16%). As a result, United remained superior, but there was no further hit until the break.

After the change of sides, the "Elfer Festival" continued when a penalty for the Red Devils was whistled again, this time after a foul on Llongu Dorgu by Artiz (50th). Fernandes scored his second goal and set the course for victory. The game was broken for Sociedad when Jon Aramburu saw the red card due to an emergency brake (63.). In the course of the game, Dorgu Sportgeist showed by confessing a foul, which led to a withdrawal of the fourth penalty whistle. Nevertheless, Fernandes increased to 3: 1 (87th) and Diogo Dalot set the final point with 4: 1 in added time. United meets Olympique Lyon in the quarterfinals, which confidently promoted FCSB Bucharest to the quarter -finals (6: 1 overall result), like the Kleine Zeitung reported.

The Tottenham Hotspur, which also moved into the quarter-finals with a 3-1 win against AZ Alkmaar, were also successful. After lost the first leg, they turned the second leg thanks to a strong performance by Wilson Odobert (2 goals).
