Lazio is openly pursuing their goals in the Europa League, but following the first quarterfinal match, the major question is how feasible it is for the Roman club to take the title in this tournament.

Bode Glimt outperformed the “sky blues,” clinching a 2:0 victory, a result that the Montenegrin national team member Adam Marušić’s side will find challenging.

The Norwegians were dominant throughout the match and could have scored more, putting them in a strong position ahead of the return leg at the “Olympic Stadium” in a week.

Ulrik Saltnes netted both goals, finding the back of the net in the 47th and 69th minutes.

Marušić played the entire match.

If they manage to overcome Bode Glimt, Lazio will face the winner of the Tottenham vs. Eintracht duel in the semifinals.

The initial match in London ended in a draw, 1:1.

The guests opened the scoring with Igo Ekitike, but Pedro Poro equalized in the 26th minute.

In Glasgow, the match between Rangers and Athletic Bilbao finished without goals, while Manchester United was close to a win in Lyon, finishing 2-2.

Thiago Almada gave the Lions an early advantage, but Lenny Joro leveled the score. Just when it seemed the Red Devils would secure the win, Joshua Zirkzee turned the game around in the 88th minute.

Yet, Lyon had the final say, equalizing with a goal from Ryan Sherki in the fifth minute of stoppage time.
