Wins for Napoli, Sevilla
Print Edition
NAPOLI put a foot in the Europa League semifinals with a perfectly crafted 4-1 win at VfL Wolfsburg on Thursday as Marek Hamsik scored twice in an Italian masterclass to bring cheer to beleaguered coach Rafa Benitez.
Defending champion Sevilla came back to beat Zenit St Petersburg 2-1 in Spain, Dynamo Kiev conceded late in a 1-1 home draw with Fiorentina and Club Bruges were held 0-0 with Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk.
Sevilla’s hopes of retaining its title looked under threat when Aleksandr Ryazantsev lashed home for the visitors but Carlos Bacca equalized and fellow substitute Denis Suarez grabbed an 88th-minute winner with an exquisite volley. Zenit, though, will fancy its chances of overturning the deficit next Thursday, keeping alive the possibility of a final between clubs from Russia and Ukraine amid simmering political tensions.
