PARIS, April 22 (Benin News) –
Atletico Madrid were eliminated in the semi-finals of the Youth League, the “Champions” of youth, on Friday, after losing clearly (0-5) against Salzburg, played in the Swiss city of Nyon, and which was practically resolved in the first half.
The Red and Whites, who have made European history this season, were unable to top off their great performance with a place in the final after a game dominated by the Austrians. Within 15 minutes, the score was 1-0 thanks to a goal from Simic, who finished off a low cross from Kameri from inside the box.
Ricardo Ortega’s side equalized through Corral after 25 minutes and then the score was 0-2, also scored by Simic from eleven yards out. The 0-3 was scored by Kameri with a superb goal that sealed the first half.
After the break, Atletico tried to up their game by increasing the pressure and looking more for the opposition in the opposition half, but they couldn’t do that either. In the 67th minute, Sahin scored the fourth goal with a powerful shot and in the 90th minute, Diakite with a header made it 0-5. Their opponent in the final will be Benfica, who beat Juventus on penalties (2-2, 3-4 on penalties).
