UEFA: Leipzig, Leicester reach semifinals; Barcelona stunned

Christopher Nkunku scored twice to help Leipzig reach its first semifinals in European competition, Leicester became the first team in the semifinal of the inaugural Europa Conference League, Barcelona stunned

Leicester became the first team to advance to the semifinals of the inaugural Europa Conference League after coming from a goal down to beat PSV Eindhoven 2-1 in the Netherlands.

Leicester’s 2-1 aggregate victory after a 0-0 draw in the first leg sets up a semifinal match against either Roma or Norway champion Bodø/Glimt.

Ricardo Pereira scored the winner two minutes from time to earn the first European semifinals for Leicester after goalkeeper Yvon Mvogo saved substitute Patson Daka’s attempt.

Eindhoven opened the scoring when former Germany international Mario Götze set up Eran Zahavi to net his eighth European goal this season and fourth in the last four Europa Conference League games.

James Maddison canceled that out for Leicester in the 77th minute.

Bodø/Glimt will defend its 2-1 lead over Roma later Thursday. Marseille was leading PAOK Thessaloniki 2-1 ahead of the return match in Greece, while Slavia Prague and Feyenoord were 3-3 going into the second legs of Europe’s third-tier competition.
