UEFA Cup, semi finals second leg

Sevilla 1 - Schalke '04 0 (after extra time)

Sevilla won through to the final of the UEFA cup in their centenary year, beating Schalke '04 in the semi-final thanks to a strike by Antonio Puerta in extra time and another great display from keeper Palop. The final will take place in Eindhoven, Holland, and their opponents will be England's Middlesbrough, who beat Steaua Bucharest in their semi-final. The result means that the league program will have to be rescheduled (subject to FIFA approval) to make room for the postponed game between Sevilla and Barcelona, which will now take place next Wednesday.
