Athletic Bilbao used a one-man advantage and two goals from Nico Williams to beat Roma 3-1 and advance to the quarterfinals of the Europa League on Thursday. Roma won the first leg of their round-of-16 tie 2-1 last week but had to play with 10 men from the 11th minute after Mats Hummels received a straight red card for downing Maroan Sannadi.

Niko Williams scored twice as Athletic Bilbao advanced to the Europa League quarter-finals with a 3-1 second-leg win over 10-man AS Roma on Thursday and Lazio progressed after a 1-1 home draw with Viktoria Plzen.

Athletic Bilbao and Roma renew hostilities in the Europa League for the third time this season, but first at Estadio San Mames. A quarter-final berth is within touching distance for the Italian side after a dramatic 2-1 first-leg win at the Stadio Olimpico last week.
