FT: Dnipro 1-0 Napoli (agg: 2-1). THAT'S IT! Dnipro will play Sevilla in Warsaw on May 27 as Yevhen Seleznyov's header was enough to send the Ukrainians through to their first European final. The Olympic Stadium in Kiev, Dnipro's temporary home, goes wild, and why not. Higuain alone had enough chances over two legs to settle this, but a sterling defensive display saw the hosts home.
90+3
Mertens elects to let the ball run for a corner, but a goal-kick is given!

Five added minutes. The pitch is almost unplayable now. Napoli have to go long.

TRIPLE SAVE! Andujar keeps the ball out three times, twice from Kalinic, as Dnipro break into the open space left by the advancing visitors.
88'
Maggio gets in behind, on the byline, but he cannot cut the ball back enough for Higuain, and Boyko blocks behind for a corner.
87'
Deflected cross lands at the feet of Inler, who has a strike at goal, but again it is blocked, and Boyko gathers.

Bruno Gama comes on for Konoplyanka, who gets a hero's ovation. Callejon is booked for trying to usher the No.10 off.
84'
Tremendous defensive display from the Ukrainians. Napoli are throwing men forward, but they cannot find a way through.
82'
Eight minutes for Dnipro to hold on. Mertens tries to find Higuain in the box, but again Douglas beats him to the ball.

Ghoulam is booked for a late foul on Kalinic. This area of the pitch is not where Benitez will want to be.

Henrique is on for the visitors, with David Lopez to make way.

OFF THE LINE! Douglas crucially heads the ball off the line after Higuain had sliced a volley over Boyko. Looked to be going in, but Douglas got back brilliantly.

Jaba Kankava is the next to be cautioned. Looks like the surface got the better of him.
74'
David Lopez has a speculative effort at goal from distance, but Boyko gets down well and keeps hold of the ball.
72'
The hosts actually look more comfortable now than they have been at any point. Napoli just cannot create chances. Hamsik very quiet.
71'
Napoli looking more and more frustrated. Boyko is just not getting tested enough in these horrible conditions.

Goalscorer Seleznyov is booked for a high boot on David Lopez.
68'
Mertens again has another effort, but from outside the box, his well-hit strike flies wide of Boyko's goal.
