Late Lucas Ocampos header ends Wolves' European fairytale

Lucas Ocampos' late headed goal to snatched Sevilla a 1-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers sending the Spanish side to the Europa League semi-finals for a sixth time.

Nuno Espirito Santo's men started the game as underdogs against five-time competition winners Sevilla and they had a superb chance to open the scoring early on.

Adama Traore won a penalty after another trademark explosive run from midfield, but from the penalty-spot, Raul Jimenez's effort was below-par, and allowed Sevilla keeper Yassine Bono to keep the game scoreless.

After that, Sevilla gained some positive momentum, swinging the game in their favour by controlling possession, but failed to create any real danger to Rui Patricio's goal.

But, as the game was heading towards extra-time, Sevilla broke Wolves' hearts right at the death though when, with 88 minutes on the clock, the superb Ever Banega picked out Ocampos with an excellent cross and he finished with a smart glancing header.

The result means Sevilla book a semi-final place against Manchester United on Sunday, while Wolves won't be in European competition next season after finishing seventh in the Premier League.
