Sevilla scrape into UEFA quarters..barely

Holders Sevilla will be playing Tottenham Hotspur in the UEFA Cup quarter-finals.Their entry into the quarters came through a very dramatic game against Shakhtar Donetsk which they eventually won 3-2 .
Sevilla trailed 2-1 and was on the brink of elimination until, in a last desperate gamble, their goalie Palop went forward in the fourth minute of stoppage time and headed in a corner to force an extra 30 minutes of playing time.An extra-time goal from Uruguayan Ernesto Chevanton then put them through 5-4 on aggregate.

You can take another look at Matuzalem's "scorpion kick" here....
