Footballers of FC Braga created an ideal position ahead of the Europa League semifinal return leg. The Portuguese club won 2:1 at home against Germany's SC Freiburg in the opening semifinal match. The decisive goal came in stoppage time, when Mario Dorgeles scored and sent Braga into the lead. SC Freiburg entered the match from behind, and although goalkeeper Noah Atubolu saved a penalty kick, the goalkeeper could do nothing against Braga's fast counterattack, which put them ahead. Czech goalkeeper Lukáš Horníček, the only remaining Czech in the competition, helped his team to a valuable home win and a lead going into the return leg. For Freiburg, the result after the first match is a disappointment, since without a win at home they must go to Germany carrying a goal deficit. isport.cz ↗ zpravy.aktualne.cz ↗
On the other side, among the English teams, Nottingham Forest created an excellent result ahead of their semifinal return leg. In the opening clash, Nottingham prevailed at home 1:0 over Aston Villa thanks to a penalty goal. Chris Wood, who has scored 41 goals for Nottingham since arriving from Newcastle in 2023, should be a key player for the team in the competition's remaining matches. BBC News ↗ sport.sk ↗
