Zenit captain Anatoliy Tymoschuk scored the only goal of tonight's game in the 34th minute, but the visiting Italians controlled the second half to secure their place in the quarter-finals - where they will be joined by two Ukrainian sides.

The nation has never previously had a team in the last eight of this competition, but were assured of at least one out of the clash between Metalist Kharkiv and Dynamo Kiev.

And it was Dynamo who emerged victorious, an own goal from Andriy Berezovchuk 11 minutes from time ensuring they went through on away goals courtesy of tonight's 3-2 defeat.

Valentyn Slyusar and Jackson Coelho put Metalist 2-0 up on the night and 2-1 overall, before Goran Sablic pulled one back.

Walter Acevedo looked to have settled the matter for the hosts with 20 minutes to go, only for Berezovchuk to put the ball into his own net and send Dynamo through - minutes before Shakhtar Donetsk ensured there would be two Ukrainian sides in the quarters as they completed victory over CSKA Moscow.

Second-half goals from Fernandinho (penalty) and Luiz Adriano saw Shakhtar turn around their 1-0 first-leg deficit and knock CSKA Moscow out 2-1 on aggregate.
