Shakhtar Donetsk became the last winners of the UEFA Cup by defeating
Werder Bremen 2-1 in the final in Istanbul tonight.
Mircea Lucescu's team also became the first Ukrainian side to win
a European trophy thanks to Jadson's winner in extra-time.
The final - the last to be played before the competition is rebranded
as the Europa League next season - finished all square on 90 minutes
after Naldo had equalised Luiz Adriano's opener.
Jadson made it a trio of Brazilian scorers when his weak effort
trickled past Werder goalkeeper Tim Wiese in the 97th minute to
give Shakhtar the trophy.
