We are hours away of knowing the quarter-finalists of the UEFA Conference League, the third-tier UEFA football club competition in its fifth edition. The second leg of the quarter-finals are played today, Thursday, March 19, and most ties remain open: only AEK Athens took a nearly definitive lead last week, 4-0 against Celje.
Rayo Vallecano and Shakhtar also enjoy solid leads tonight, but things don't look so good for Crystal Palace, the only English team in the competition, which, from a 0-0 last week, will try to avoid elimination, as it happened to most of their pals in Champions League except for Arsenal and Liverpool.
Here's a list of UEFA Conference League games this afternoon and evening, and the results carried from last week:
