UEFA Europa League: SC Freiburg took control of their UEFA Europa League quarterfinal against Celta Vigo with a 3-0 first-leg home win, leaving Julian Schuster's side well placed before the return in Vigo.

In the club's first European quarterfinal, Freiburg set the tone immediately. The home side pinned the visitors back in the opening stages and turned that pressure into a deserved lead after 10 minutes.

Vincenzo Grifo created room near the left edge of the box and bent a shot into the right corner. The effort took a deflection, but Vigo goalkeeper Radu had no chance as Freiburg's start paid off, reports Xinhua.
