Shakhtar Donetsk 2-2 Sevilla: Gameiro nets late penalty to salvage draw

Sevilla recorded a 2-2 Europa League draw with Shakhtar Donetsk following a late Kevin Gameiro penalty.

Kevin Gameiro converted a late penalty for reigning champion Sevilla to help it to a 2-2 draw in the first leg of its Europa League semifinal tie with Shakhtar Donetsk in Lviv.

The Liga outfit started the match in superb fashion and went a goal up after just six minutes through Vitolo. It was pinned back in its own half after the opener, though, and Marlos restored parity with a fine finish before setting up Taras Stepanenko to put the home side ahead.
