FT: Olympiacos 2-0 Aston Villa
Aston Villa are out of the Europa Conference League after another heartbreaking loss to Olympiacos at the Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium.
The Greek giants are set for their first European final in their near 100-year history and it will take place at Opap Arena in Nea Filadelfia – only a short drive away.
Ayoub El Kaabi opened the scoring after just 10 minutes after meeting a pinpoint low cross from Quini and beating Emi Martinez with a weak shot.
Aston Villa put together a rather toothless performance and it showed in the 78th minute when the defenders forgot El Kaabi who picked up a long free-kick by Kostas Tzolakis and beat Martinez from close range.
The referee claimed the striker was offside but VAR showed there was nothing and the goal stood.
History has been made in Greece.
