The goal had no announcement, it was scored practically from the first real chance the home team had. After a penetration on the right side, the ball reached Hostika, his shot from about 10 meters was saved by goalkeeper Nikić, but Ervin knocked the rebound into the net from close range.

Aston Villa celebrated progress to the knockout stages of the UEFA Europa Conference League with a solid 2-1 win over Legia Warszawa at Villa Park.
Unai Emery’s side were assured of qualification prior to kick-off, but nevertheless put in a professional display against a Legia side who had won the reverse fixture earlier in the group stage.
Villa could hardly have asked for a better start, with Youri Tielemans putting Diaby away with a nice pass down the line, and the pacy forward showing his class with a delightful left-footed finish.
But the visitors more than held their own in an evenly-balanced first half, and got back into it when Ernest Muci latched onto a wayward Boubacar Kamara pass before curling a peach of a shot into the top corner, repeating his scoring efforts after hitting a brace against Villa in the previous meeting between the sides.
Alex Moreno’s tidy finish from a trademark Douglas Luiz set-piece delivery gave Villa the lead after half-time, but the home side were unable to find a third goal that would have secured them top spot in the group with a game to spare.

Moussa Diaby scored a lovely goal to open the scoring for Villa tonight, and was praised by TNT pundit Peter Crouch after the game.
“He really is quality. I remember speaking to John McGinn, he said when you’ve got players with that sort of pace, as he proved tonight, it’s so difficult to stop.”
The whistle goes and Moreno's goal means Villa seal a 2-1 win after a testing night in the midlands.

A ball fizzes right across the face of the Legia goal but not one of the Villa players queuing up in the box can get a touch. That should have been the third goal.
Five minutes will be added at the end of the game, with Villa looking for a goal to secure top spot and Legia eyeing an equaliser that would secure qualification.
The first match of the 3rd round of qualification for the Conference League between the Finnish and Montenegrin champions starts at 18:XNUMX
