Streij’s right-footed shot was saved by an improved Ariola, but the 26-year-old scored seconds later, which was a memorable moment for him. The striker made an effort inside the post and through Aurola’s body, and as things stood still the Reds were on their way to the final.
With 20 minutes left, Villarreal dropped to 10 men. After fouling Lallana, Victor Ruiz was shown a second yellow card and the spectators’ lives suddenly took a turn for the worse.
