Freiburg Sink Celta to Clinch First Appearance in Europa League Semis

Igor Matanovic and Yuito Suzuki scored as Freiburg conceded just 7 goals in 12 Europa League matches.

  • On Thursday, Freiburg advanced to their first European semi-final by defeating Celta Vigo 3-1, securing a 6-1 aggregate victory in the Europa League quarter-final.
  • Julian Schuster's side entered the match with a commanding 3-0 lead from last week's first leg in Germany, requiring only damage control to advance.
  • Matanovic lashed a superb volley into the top corner in the 33rd minute, before Suzuki netted in the 39th and again after 51 minutes to seal the result.
  • The Bundesliga side will face either Real Betis or Sporting Braga in the semi-finals, with those teams currently level at 1-1 ahead of their Thursday showdown in Spain.
  • Having conceded just seven goals in 12 matches during the campaign, Freiburg's defensive solidity now positions the team to pursue a maiden European final.
