    Dnipro to face Sevilla in UEFA Europa League final


    Holders Sevilla, who crushed Fiorentina, face unheralded Ukrainians Dnipro in the Europa League final in Warsaw on May 27.

    The finalists progress to the Polish capital finale in wildly contrasting fashions.

    Sevilla, seeking a record fourth success in the competition, were firmly in the driving seat after last week's 3-0 first leg-success, and finished off Fiorentina 2-0 in Thursday's (Friday AEST) second-leg semi-final with first half goals from Carlos Bacca and Daniel Carrico.

    Dnipro, a former rocket factory side, on the other hand secured their first ever European final by grittily edging Rafa Benitez's Napoli 1-0 in Kiev to go through 2-1 on aggregate.


    Napoli, the 1989 UEFA Cup winners, were the better side in the first half but Yevhen Seleznyov put paid to their Europa League dreams when heading past keeper Mariano Andujar in the 58th minute, with Yevhen Konoplyanka's cross from the left setting up the all important goal.
