Half-Time Report: Valencia restore Europa League parity

Valencia restore Europa League parity

Valencia have levelled things up on aggregate after taking a 2-0 lead in at half time against Sevilla in the Europa League semi-final second leg.

Los Che trailed 2-0 from last week's first leg, but Sofiane Feghouli put his side firmly back in the tie on 14 minutes when he drove at the heart of the Sevilla defence from a wide area before finding the top corner inside the area.

The Algerian winger nearly evened things up six minutes later but Beto was on hand to make a good save after some nice build-up between Feghouli and Jonas.

Brazilian midfielder Jonas levelled the tie up when he powered a header beyond Beto, despite the goalkeeper palming it onto the crossbar before it eventually rolled over the line.

Jose Antonio Reyes nearly gave his side the lead once more, but the former Arsenal forward was denied by Valencia goalkeeper Diego Alves.
