Match Report
Celta Vigo produced a superb away performance to beat Lyon 2-0 at the Groupama Stadium, advancing 3-1 on aggregate and dumping the league phase winners out of the Europa League. A red card for Moussa Niakhaté in the 19th minute set the tone for a miserable evening for the French side.
Lyon held firm with ten men through the first half, but Celta broke the deadlock on the hour mark when Javi Rueda pounced from close range in the 61st minute. Deep into stoppage time, Ferran Jutglà sealed the deal in the 92nd minute, finishing coolly from Javi Rodríguez's assist to spark wild celebrations.
The numbers told the story — Celta dominated possession at nearly 65% and managed eight shots on target to Lyon's solitary effort. It was a historic night for the Galicians, their first-ever victory on French soil.
For Lyon, it is a bitter exit after topping the league phase. Celta Vigo march on to the quarter-finals with momentum and belief to spare.
