Duisburg (Germany) (AFP)

Sevilla FC qualified for the semi-finals of the Europa League by beating Wolverhampton 1-0 on Wednesday in Duisburg, in a quarter-final played in a single match and behind closed doors.

In the semifinals on Sunday August 16 in Cologne, Julen Lopetegui's team, 4th in Liga, will face Manchester United, who beat Copenhagen 1-0 the day before after extra time.

The only goal of the match was scored by the Argentinian, former Marseillais, Lucas Ocampos, of the head, in the 88th minute, on a cross of his compatriot Ever Banega.

A deserved victory for the Spaniards over the whole of a very closed meeting, during which the English club, 7th in the Premier League, missed a penalty in the first period, whistled for a foul by the Brazilian Diego Carlos on the former Barcelona striker Adama Traoré.

The Moroccan goalkeeper of Seville Bono has indeed stopped the shooting of the Mexican Raul Jimenez (13th), for what will remain as the only occasion of the match of the English.
