Zenit 2-2 Sevilla (agg 3-4): Gameiro keeps holders alive after Hulk wonderstrike

Kevin Gameiro's late goal sealed Sevilla's place in the Europa League semi-finals after their 2-2 draw with Zenit on Thursday secured a 4-3 aggregate win.

After scoring Sevilla's winner in a 2-1 first-leg victory last week, Carlos Bacca found the net again with an early penalty in the second leg to put the Liga side in command on Thursday.

Zenit looked short of ideas, but the Russian Premier League leaders were gifted a way back into the tie when Beto, making his return from injury, inexplicably dropped a cross and Salomon Rondon turned the ball home just after half-time.

Three-time winners Sevilla then lost composure and Zenit capitalised, with Hulk putting them in front in the match in spectacular fashion with a sensational long-range lob to seemingly take the tie into extra-time.

Gameiro had the final say, though, coming off the bench to fire home five minutes from time to seal a 4-3 aggregate victory, which keeps Unai Emery's men on course to retain Europe's secondary club competition.
