UEFA Champions League

March 5, 2008

Fenerbahce players celebrate winning their Champions League first knockout round second leg match against Sevilla at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan stadium.

Turkish surprise package Fenerbahce sneaked through on penalties after their first knockout round, second-leg match against Sevilla finished at 5-5.

Fenerbahce were indebted to goalkeeper Volkan Demirel for saving three spot-kicks in the shootout. Demirel, at fault for at least one goal in regular time, turned hero by denying Julien Escude, Enzo Maresca and Daniel Alves in the shootout Fenerbahce won 3-2.

Alves and Seydou Keita had given Sevilla a 2-0 lead in the opening 10 minutes but goals from Brazilian striker Deivid either side of Frederic Kanoute's strike made it 3-2 on the night to force a dramatic ending to the contest.
