Fenerbahce advanced into the quarter finals of the Champions League for the first time in their club’s history after edging Sevilla 3-2 on penalties with both sides level a 5-5 on aggregate after normal time at the Sanchez Pizjuan. Fenerbahce keeper Volkan Demirel was the hero for the Turkish side by making up for his two first-half howlers by saving three penalties in the decisive shoot-out.

Daniel Alves levels things up on aggregate in the Sanchez Pizjuan with a strike from 25 yards that produces a shocking error from the visiting keeper Volkan Demirel, who tamely punches the ball into his own net. Howler. Sevilla go through on away goals as it stands.

It’s another total disaster from Volkan Demirel in the Turkish side’s goal, with Seydou Keita slamming in a shot from long-range that swerves a touch, but the keeper’s attempt to keep it out is abysmal and the ball flies past him into the net.

Deivid pulls one back for the visitors in their first real spell of pressure. Sevilla fail to clear their lines from a corner from the left and the Brazilian rifles in a low shot from 12 yards. Game on.

Kanoute puts the Spaniards ahead on aggregate once more, the former Tottenham and West Ham hitman chesting down a ball into the box and seeing his right-foot shot go into the far corner via a massive deflection off Edu.

A free-kick drifts to the back post, that man Deivid sneaks in, clips a shot against the post and reacts quickest to the rebound and tucks the ball home. All level on away goals so extra time looms..
