"Matthias Ginter, Vincenzo Grifo and Yuito Suzuki all chipped in with a goal and an assist for Julian Schuster's side, who will face LaLiga side Celta Vigo in the last eight."
"It took just 19 minutes for Freiburg to open the scoring through Ginter, who brilliantly flicked Grifo's teasing free-kick from the left past Tobias Lawal and in off the right-hand post."
"Celta were only able to make their man advantage count in the 61st minute. Hugo Alvarez's cross was missed by Ferran Jutgla, but Rueda was on hand to tuck home from inside the six-yard box, with Celta making sure of the win in stoppage time."
Freiburg secured their first-ever Europa League quarter-final appearance by dominating Genk 5-1 in the second leg at Europa-Park Stadion. Matthias Ginter opened the scoring in the 19th minute, followed by Igor Matanovic's goal to establish control. Despite Matte Smets briefly restoring parity, Freiburg took decisive command with goals from Vincenzo Grifo and Yuito Suzuki within three minutes. Maximilian Eggestein sealed the victory late on. Freiburg will face Celta Vigo, who advanced by defeating nine-man Lyon 2-0 in their second leg, progressing 3-1 on aggregate after Moussa Niakhate's early red card shifted the match dynamics.
