Sevilla are Europa League champions

Sevilla have won the Europa League after a penalty shootout against Benfica.

The match finished 0-0, going into extra time as the two teams could not be separated over the 120 minutes.

Then penalty misses from Oscar Cardozo and Rodrigo for Benfica allowed Sevilla substitute Kevin Gameiro to fire home the winning spotkick for the Spaniards.

Lima and Bacca netted before Cardozo's stuttering run-up saw him clip straight at Beto.

Stephane Mbia powered home and Sevilla were on the verge of claiming the trophy when Rodrigo was denied.

Coke scored, Luisao kept Benfica alive for a few seconds longer, but substitute Gameiro was soon wheeling away in celebration after beating Jan Oblak to inspire rapture in the Sevilla supporters.
