Shakhtar Donetsk is the first Ukrainian team to ever reach the final of the UEFA Cup, following a 2-1 victory in the semi final return leg with compatriots Dynamo Kyiv.

The first leg ended in 1-1 and Shakhtar improved their chances when Jadson scored the second-leg opener on 17 minutes following poor clearance from Betao.

But Dynamo came back shortly after the break. A well-performed attack involving Milevskiy and Aliyev eventually enabled Ismaël Bangoura to put it home for 1-1.

The winner came on 89th minute though and it was the home crowd to celebrate their team passing to the final. A long ball from the left was collected by Ilsinho, who then found his way past two defenders before beating keeper Bogush, 2-1.

Shakhtar will play the final against Hamburger SV or Werder Bremen.
