Match Report 100318 vs Lille: Through

3-0 and we come back from the one goal deficit in the first leg to go through to last 8 of Europa League. From the start we were determined to win the game and an early penalty equalized the game. An early goal from Torres in the second half put us in the lead, but it was not until the final minute that Torres score another one that really secure the victory. We draw Benfica in the last 8, it will be difficult but we can beat them if we perform well.
