Moroccan striker Youssef Al-Nusairi led Sevilla to qualify for the semi-finals of the European Football League, by scoring two goals as part of a hat-trick that the Spanish team won at home to Manchester United in the second leg of the quarter-finals.
Seville scored a landslide victory over United, after last week’s first-leg match in Manchester ended with an exciting 2-2 draw, to continue his career in the tournament, which holds the record for the number of times crowned.
Al-Nusairi opened the scoring in the eighth minute, taking advantage of a fatal mistake committed by Manchester United defender Harry Maguire, so that Argentine Eric Lamela snatched the ball and passed it to the Moroccan striker, who scored.
