Sevilla cruise past Fiorentina to make it into their fourth straight final with FC Dnipro Dnepropetrovsk who defeated Napoli 1-0.
Carlos Bacca and Daniel Carriço struck in the space of six first-half minutes to demoralise Fiorentina hopes of advancing to the final. While it took the header of Yevhen Seleznyov's in the 58th-minute to secure a first ever UEFA competition final for FC Dnipro. It all ended 5-0 aggregate to Sevilla and 2-1 aggregate to FC Dnipro.
Napoli mounting pressure was not enough to put them in the final as FC Dnipro was very defensively discipline with their goal keeper Denys Boyko was outstanding all through the night. FC Dnipro has qualified for their first ever UEFA competition final. They have never gone past the quarter-final before.
Sevilla are bidding to become the first team to land the trophy four times. They are currently alongside FC Liverpool, Juventus and Internazionale Milano on three victories.
Amazingly FC Dnipro entered the competition in the playoff round, and after finishing second in their group to Inter Milan, defeated Olympiakos, Ajax, Club Brugge and now Napoli on their way to the final.
Sevilla, who edged Benfica on penalties in last year's final, also finished second in their group, but made it past Borussia Monchengladbach, Villarreal, Zenit St. Petersburg and now Fiorentina to return to the final to defend their trophy.
The final will be played May 27 in Warsaw, Poland and a spot in next year's Champions League group stage is the reward for the winners of this year's final.
