FC Shakhtar Donetsk ruined Dynamo’s hopes of reaching the UEFA Cup
final on Thursday after Ilsinho's 89th-minute strike secured a 2-1
semi-final second-leg win over the capital club. The official club web site of Dynamo Kyiv reports.
Following a 1-1
first-leg draw in Kyiv, both teams had an equal chance to reach the
UEFA Cup final. A seventeenth-minute strike from Brazilian midfielder
Jadson gave Mircea Lucescu's men the lead before Dynamo’s Ismaël
Bangoura levelled the score shortly after the interval with a
right-footed volley into the corner. In the final minutes of the match,
however, the opponents scored the decisive goal when Willian's diagonal
pass found his compatriot Ilsinho, who then carried the ball past two
Dynamo defender Badr El Kaddouri and midfielder Ayila Yussuf and
finished low into the far corner - 2-1.
Thus, FC Shakhtar Donetsk has earned a historic UEFA Cup win and will play the final against German side Werder Bremen.
