Zenit St Petersburg 4-0 Bayern Munich (Zenit win 5-1 on agg): Zenit St Petersburg reached their first-ever European final in emphatic fashion after inflicting a humiliating 4-0 defeat on Bayern Munich in their Uefa Cup semi-final second leg clash at the Petrovsky Stadium.
After holding the German outfit to a 1-1 draw in the first leg at the Allianz Arena last week, first-half goals from Konstatin Zyryanov and Pavel Pogrebniak set Dick Advocaat's men on their way to the final at the City of Manchester Stadium on May 14th.
Viktor Faitzulin added a third 11 minutes after the restart while Pogrebniak's second of the night after 73 minutes ensured Bayern coach Ottmar Hitzfeld's final European campaign before taking over as boss of the Swiss national team ended on a sour note.
The night ended badly for two-goal hero Pogrebniak, however, after he received a yellow card for an innocuous aerial challenge with Lucio that means the tournament's top scorer, with 11 goals, will not feature in the final.
