fabiano-celebrates-sevillas-first-goal_4305

Luis Fabiano and Dirnei Renato found the net as defending champions Sevilla reached their second successive Uefa Cup final after beating Osasuna 2-0 in the second leg.

Their win means the May 16 final at Glasgow will be an all-Spaniard affair with Sevilla locking horns with Espanyol.

Trailing 0-1 after the first leg, Sevilla meant business right from the word go and had the Osasuna defence on its toes for major part of the match.

Fabiano drew first blood when he scored from close range and in the second half, an unmarked Renato guided a cross into the net to complete the tally in the 53rd minute.
For Osasuna, Pierre Webo almost scored with his header which rebounded off the post.

Osasuna paid the price for a defensive approach in order to protect their first leg advantage.

Sevilla coach Juande Ramos was naturally ecstatic.

Ramos said

Getting to two consecutive finals is an achievement which is within reach of very few teams and we’ve done it. I hope we can play well and win the UEFA Cup again, that would cap everything.
