On Thursday (9), the first-leg quarterfinal matches of the Conference League and Europa League were played.
The biggest match of the day, between Porto and Nottingham Forest, featured Brazilian involvement.
Willian Gomes, formerly of São Paulo, opened the scoring at the Estádio do Dragão (see below), but then saw the English side equalize shortly afterward with a bizarre own goal.
Igor Jesus even found the net in the second half, but the goal was ruled out due to a foul on Porto goalkeeper Diogo Costa.
The second leg, with a place in the Europa League semifinals at stake, will take place next week in England.
Meanwhile, in the Conference League, Shakhtar Donetsk beat AZ 3-0, with all the goals scored by Brazilians.
Pedrinho, developed at Corinthians, opened the scoring in the 27th minute of the second half. Shortly after, Alisson, from Atlético-MG’s academy, found the net twice.
