Dnipro 1-0 Club Brugge (1-0 agg): Shakhov fires Ukranians into semis

Yevhen Shakhov broke the deadlock to send Dnipro into the UEFA Europa League semifinals and end Club Brugge's hopes of a treble season.

Substitute Yevhen Shakhov scored the only goal of the tie as Dnipro pipped Club Brugge to a place in the UEFA Europa League semifinals with a 1-0 win on Thursday.

Brugge coach Michel Preud'homme predicted a "poker game" on the back of a goalless first leg in Belgium and there was little on display to quicken the pulse for the most part at Kiev's Olympic Stadium.

Yevhen Seleznyov passed up Dnipro's best chance during the first half but the hosts found regular openings hard to come by despite a typically inventive display from Yevhen Konoplyanka.
