MONACO (Reuters) – Bayer Leverkusen beat AS Monaco 5-3 on penalties after winning a frantic second leg of their Europa League playoff 3-2 on to send the game into extra time with the aggregate score level at 5-5.
Monaco midfielder Eliot Matazo hit the bar in the second round of spot-kicks and winger Moussa Diaby sealed victory for the German side.
Leverkusen, who lost 3-2 in the home leg last week, won the second leg by the same scoreline following goals by Florian Wirtz, Exequiel Palacios and Amine Adli.
The last-16 draw will be made on Friday.
