UEFA Europa League Wrap

FC Barcelona battled back to secure a 1-1 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt in the first leg of their UEFA Europa League quarter-final.

Xavi Hernandez handed a recall to Adama Traore in the attack, as Ousmane Dembele dropped to the bench while Ronald Araujo came in for Dani Alves at right back.

However, the visitors were forced to make a change in the 25th minute when Gerard Pique picked up an injury and had to be replaced by Clement Lenglet.

The home side drew first blood just after the interval, with Ansgar Knauff finding the top corner with a superb volley from around 25 yards out.

Barcelona weren't behind for too long as Ferran Torres brought his side level with a close-range finish in the 66th minute after being set up by Frenkie de Jong.

Neither side were able to find another goal in the latter stages, but Frankfurt did finish the game with 10 men after Tuta's sending off.

Ten-man West Ham United managed to hold on for a 1-1 draw against Olympique Lyon at the London Stadium.

The Hammers suffered a blow just before the halftime break when Aaron Cresswell was shown a straight a red card.

The sending off seem to spur West Ham on as Jarrod Bowen opened the scoring seven minutes after the break.

However, the French outfit managed to get themselves back into the tie thanks Tanguy Ndombele's goal in the 66th minute.

RB Leipzig and Atalanta played to a 1-1 draw in their first leg at the Red Bull Arena.

Luis Muriel put the Serie A side ahead in the 17th minute, but Vilmos Orban pulled a goal back for Leipzig just before the hour mark.

Sporting Braga took control of their quarter-final tie after defeating Rangers 1-0 on Thursday evening.

Abel Ruiz's 40th minute strike was enough to seal the win in the first leg.
