Sevilla Edge Milan In Moscow

The Andalucians head to the final thanks to that solitary goal, although the margin of victory arguably should have been greater after a fine first half for the boys in white.

Despite losing Dani Alves, Seydou Keita and Christian Poulsen during the summer, Sevilla looked the part early on, with new signing Romaric looking particularly active as he tested Abbiati early on.

Luis Fabiano was also on form, setting up Navas for a goalbound shot that had to be hacked clear by Kaladze.

Three minutes after the break Sevilla were in the lead. Gattuso headed goalward a curving Maresca cross with Abbiati powerless to react.

Milan, meanwhile, struggled to make their prescene felt in the second period. Kaka largely toiled, while Paloschi was starved of service up front. The game drew to a 1-0 conclusion thus.
