Moroccan striker Youssef Al-Nusairi led Sevilla to qualify for the semi-finals of the European Football League, by scoring two goals as part of a hat-trick that the Spanish team won at home to Manchester United in the second leg of the quarter-finals.
Seville scored a landslide victory over United, after last week’s first-leg match in Manchester ended with an exciting 2-2 draw, to continue his career in the tournament, which holds the record for the number of times crowned.
Al-Nusairi opened the scoring in the eighth minute, taking advantage of a fatal mistake committed by Manchester United defender Harry Maguire, so that Argentine Eric Lamela snatched the ball and passed it to the Moroccan striker, who scored.

In the 81st minute, Al-Nusairi added his second goal and the third for Seville, after a fatal gag by Spanish goalkeeper David de Gea in passing the ball, so the striker cleverly shot it from outside the penalty area.
