Uefa Cup Final/ Espanyol 2 Sevilla 2:Sevilla, having crushed Middlesbrough a year ago, raised the Uefa Cup once more in Glasgow following a dramatic 3-1 penalty shoot-out win over 10-man Espanyol at Hampden Park.

Adriano's 18th-minute opener for Sevilla was cancelled out just 10 minutes later by Albert Riera before Espanyol midfielder Moises Hurtado was sent off 20 minutes before extra-time arrived.

Fredi Kanoute put Sevilla ahead before the turnaround but substitute Jonatas equalised again with four minutes remaining to take the match to penalties.

Sevilla goalkeeper Andres Palop saved three spot kicks, from Luis Garcia, Jonatas and Marc Torrejon, with only Walter Pandiani scoring for Espanyol.

Sevilla's sharpness was apparent in the 18th minute when they scored on the counter-attack.

Palop initiated it with a throw-out down the left to send Adriano on the run. Sevilla's attacking midfielder was then assisted by Luis Garcia's decision to commit himself to a challenge. The swift Brazilian swept away from him and found the far corner of the net.

When the left-back Puerta then rolled a low ball across the face of the Espanyol six-yard line it seemed as if an initial flourish from Ernesto Valverde's players had been a pretty inconsequence. After 28 minutes, however, they were level after an unusually slack piece of work by Sevilla.

No one showed enough urgency in closing down Riera as he cut in from the left and, when Daniel Alves did get in the way of the shot, he deflected it past Palop for the equaliser.

Sevilla manager Juande Ramos, withdrew Luis Fabiano after the frustrated attacker was cautioned for barging into Gorka Iraizoz when the Espanyol goalkeeper had already caught the ball.

His successor Aleksandr Kerzhakov was soon to be at the centre of a significant episode. Four minutes after taking the field, he was brought down by Moises and referee Massimo Busacca sent off the Espanyol midfielder.

Sevilla outnumbered opponents over whom they also enjoyed an advantage in quality but the suspense remained as Kerzhakov bashed the ball over the bar after being put through by the substitute Renato.

The game moved into extratime and, just before the end of the first period, Kanoute fired Sevilla ahead when he nicked Jesus Navas' cross in at the near post. Espanyol looked to have nothing left but with four minutes remaining substitute Jonatas, on for Ivan De la Pena, fired in a glorious equaliser from 30 yards.
