Olympiacos v Aston Villa LIVE: Europa Conference League result and final score as Ayoub El Kaabi strikes twice

6 mins: The noise inside the stadium when Villa are in possession is deafening. But Emery’s side are working it nicely so far. An early goal would give them a huge lift.

3 mins: Villa work the ball from back to front and good play from Cash and Bailey wins a corner down the right. Bailey takes it short to Diaby but Villa can’t work a crossing opportunity.

But Villa stay patient and Konsa almost picks out Watkins! Olympiacos clear.

A good start from the visitors.

2 mins: An early chance for Olympiacos and Chiquinho. Villa don’t defend the long throw and it breaks to Chiquinho in the box. He snatches at the chance, and drags it wide of the near post.

1 mins: And we’re underway. Boos immediately greet every Villa touch as they kick off this semi-final second leg.

Just incredible scenes in Piraeus. Good luck, Villa.

An incredible atmosphere awaits Aston Villa, and the away fans are doing their best to make themselves heard.

It’s a huge night for the hosts, but also for Unai Emery’s side as they bid to reach a first European final since 1982.

Kick-off is coming up next.

Italian side Fiorentina await in the final after beating Brugge in the other semi-final last night.

Fiorentina were beaten by West Ham in last season’s Conference League final in Prague.

Could they face another English side wearing claret and blue in Athens?

Not long until kick-off now.

Ollie Watkins was nominated for Premier League player of the year earlier today, but his goal in the first leg against Olympiacos is his only effort in Villa’s last five games.

The striker has had a brilliant campaign, scoring 19 times in the Premier League and 28 across all competitions. Villa need the England striker to be at his very best tonight.

Olympiacos are attempting to become just the second Greek team to reach a major European final, and first since Panathinaikos in 1971.

It would be a special time to do it, with this season’s Europa Conference League final set to be staged in Athens.

Olympiacos coach Jose Luis Mendilibar: “Is this the biggest match of the season? I hope not. I hope there is one more.

“We have to be focused; the situation has not changed much since the first match. You qualify over two legs, and Aston Villa will play hard to reach the final, as will we.

“Both teams have a chance. The players are starting to believe in themselves and when you do that things can go a lot better.”
