Europa and Conference: Brazilians shine in quarter-final ties

We had the first-leg quarterfinal matches of the Conference League and Europa League this Thursday (9).

The biggest clash of the day, between Porto and Nottingham Forest, featured Brazilian involvement.

William Gomes, formerly of São Paulo, opened the scoring at the Dragão Stadium (see below), but then saw the English side equalize shortly afterward through a bizarre own goal.

Igor Jesus even found the net in the second half, but the goal was ruled out due to a foul on Diogo Costa, Porto’s goalkeeper.

The return leg, with a place in the Europa League semifinals at stake, will take place next week in England.


Meanwhile, in the Conference League, Shakhtar Donetsk beat AZ 3-0, with all the goals scored by Brazilians.

Pedrinho, developed at Corinthians, opened the scoring in the 27th minute of the second half. Shortly after, Alisson, from Atlético-MG’s academy, found the net twice.
