It was a big Thursday night in the Europa League as the round of 16 was decided.
Here’s what went down.
Scorers: Guido Rodriguez OG 120+1′; Iglesias 90′
An own goal with the last action of the game broke Real Betis’ hearts and sent Eintracht Frankfurt through.
Eintracht led 2-1 from the first leg, setting up a fascinating return fixture in Frankfurt.
It looked like the Bundesliga side were heading through, only for Borja Iglesias to net a late equaliser for Betis to take the tie to extra-time.
And just when it looked like penalties were on the menu, Martin Hinteregger forced Guido Rodriguez to score dramatic late own goal to send Eintracht through.
Scorers: Souček 38′, Yarmolenko 112′
Sevilla will not get to play the Europa League final in their own stadium after they were beaten by West Ham on an unforgettable night in London.
The LaLiga side led 1-0 from the first leg but Tomáš Souček got the Hammers back on level terms late in the first half when he headed home Michail Antonio’s cross at the back post.
It proved to be the only goal of the 90, and the tie went to extra-time.
The hosts struck again in the 112th minute to lift the roof off the London Stadium, when Pablo Fornals’s shot was saved and Andriy Yarmolenko was on hand to fire home the winner.
Scorers: Dembele 13′; Pepé 27′
Lyon were able to finish the job after a 1-0 win over Porto in the first leg.
The Ligue 1 side made a great start to the second leg, with Moussa Dembele bundling home to make it 2-0 on aggregate early doors.
Pepé then pulled one back for Porto with a stunning volley into the top corner to make it 2-1 on aggregate.
Scorers: Marcão 28′; Pedri 37′, Aubameyang 49′
Barcelona had to come from behind to beat Galatasaray in an electric atmosphere at Nef Stadyumu.
The first goal of the tie came after 28 minutes of the second leg, when Galatasaray captain Marcão headed home brilliantly from a corner.
But their lead didn’t last long, with Pedri soon netting a Lionel Messi-esque goal to restore parity for Barcelona at the other end.
Into the second half and Barça went in front, when Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang converted from inside the six-yard box following pinball in the penalty area for what proved to be the winner.
Scorers: Boga 90+1′
Atalanta booked their spot in the quarter-finals with a 4-2 aggregate victory over Bayer Leverkusen.
With Atalanta leading 3-2 from the first leg, Moussa Diaby had a great chance to score for Leverkusen when he raced through on goal early in the second half, but Atalanta goalkeeper Juan Musso did well to deny him.
And Atalanta delivered the sucker punch in stoppage time, when Jeremie Boga netted a superb solo goal to send them through to the last eight.
Scorers: Ivanić 10′, El Fardou Ben Nabouhane (pen) 90+3′; Kent 56′
Rangers endured a difficult second leg in Serbia.
With the Scottish champions leading 3-0 from the first leg, the hosts made an ideal start to the second leg when Mirko Ivanić capitalised on some slack defending to make it 3-1 on aggregate.
But the visitors recovered from that early scare to take control of the game, and Ryan Kent made it 4-1 on aggregate early in the second half.
Red Star netted again late on when El Fardou Ben Nabouhane converted from the penalty spot, but it was little more than a consolation.
Scorers: Disasi 90′; Abel Ruiz 19′
With the cushion of a 2-0 lead from the first leg, Braga increased their advantage midway through the first half when Abel Ruiz fired in from 25-yards to make it 3-0 on aggregate.
Axel Disasi then salvaged some pride for Monaco with a late consolation goal to equalise on the night.
