The League of European Conferences is entering its decisive phase. The 1/8 finals of these games started on Thursday evening. In one of the most interesting matches of this phase, FC Basel took up at his own stadium.
Milik goes down in the history of Olympique. A beautiful goal from the penalty spot
From the beginning of the match at Orange Velodrome, the initiative was taken by the home team, which bravely attacked the goal guarded by Heinz Lindner. With each passing minute, this pressure grew stronger and stronger, and finally in the 18th minute of the game in the visitors’ penalty area he fell. After a moment’s thought, the judge decided that the Uruguayan had been fouled and gave him a penalty kick for Marseilles.
Traditionally, the ball placed on the eleventh meter was approached by Arkadiusz Milik, who is the nominal penalty shooter in the team. The Pole did not disappoint and did his job perfectly. He dared to strike in the “Panenka style” and completely fooled the visitors’ goalkeeper, who threw himself into the left corner of the goal.
For Milik it was already the 16th hit this season, of which he scored seven in the cups. This makes the Pole by far the best scorer for his team. The 28-year-old also became the first Olympique de Marseille player since the 1988/89 season to score in five consecutive European cup games.
In the second half, he again showed his extraordinary shooting instinct. In the 69th minute of the match, the Pole hit the empty goal with the ball bounced by the goalkeeper and took his team into the lead 2-0. Ten minutes later, however, Sebastiano Esposito scored a contact.
