Pione Sisto's strike was cancelled out by Leandro Trossard but Celta Vigo who advanced to the Europa League semi-finals at Genk's expense.

Celta Vigo advanced to the semi-finals of a major UEFA competition for the first time following a 1-1 draw against Genk in the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final at Luminus Arena.

A 3-2 victory in the first fixture at Balaidos proved key for Eduardo Berizzo's side, who had to withstand late pressure after Leandro Trossard cancelled out Pione Sisto's second-half opener.

The tenacious Sisto gave Celta a two-goal aggregate cushion when he created something out of nothing in the 63rd minute, but Genk hit back in less than four minutes through a delightful finish from energetic winger Trossard.
