Europa League Review: Sevilla On Course For Third Title

Sevilla is on course to win their third consecutive European title after snatching a 2-2 draw in their first leg against Shakhtar Donetsk thanks to a late penalty; Villarreal scores with the last kick of the game to overcome Liverpool in the other semi-final.

Not since the mighty Bayern Munich beat Atletico Madrid, Leeds United, and Saint-Etienne, in the early 1970s has a team won three European trophies on the spin.

That might be about to change after Sevilla came from behind to snatch a 2-2 draw in their first leg of the Europa League Semi-Final away to Shakhtar Donetsk.

Machin Perez put the visitors ahead in the sixth minute, but Donetsk came back fighting. A 23rd-minute equaliser from Marlos and a 35th-minute header from Taras Stepanenko sent them into the break with a two-goal lead. The tie seemed to be going the way of the Ukrainian Premier League team until in the 82nd minute when Facundo Ferreyra brought Vitolo down in the box, and Kevin Gameiro stepped up to equalise from the spot.
