Ang Leicester will play in the semi-finals of the Conference League, the first European semis in its history, after beating PSV 1-2 in Eindhoven on Thursday. In the first leg, 0-0. Although Eran Zahavi advanced to the Dutch team, the ‘Foxes’ changed the game and the tie thanks to goals scored by James Maddison and Ricardo Pereira. In the semifinals, Leicester’s Brendan Rodgers will face Roma’s José Mourinho, who eliminated Norwegian Bodo/Glimt 4-0, the revelation of the tournament.
Mario Götze, author of the goal that gave Germany the 2014 World Cup in Brazil against Leo Messi’s Argentina (1-0), is the one who assisted Zahavi in playing the goal where PSV continued after Youri Tielemans error. It was the 27th minute and the Eindhoven team dreamed of reaching the semi-finals.
In the final quarter of the game, Leicester came from behind. In the 77th minute, Maddison tied the score with the help of Ayoze Pérez. And with two more minutes, in the 88th minute and after Patson Daka’s action, Ricardo Pereira scored the goal that paved the way for Rodgers ’men to reach the semifinals, its first leg to be played on April 28 and the second leg, May 5.
This will be the first European semi-final in Leicester history. Rodgers was right with his changesbecause Daka (who came in after the break for Marc Albrighton) and Ayoze Pérez (who replaced Kelechi Iheanacho in the 65th minute) were the ones who served Maddison and Ricardo Pereira respectively.
