Now Julen Lopetegui's Sevilla awaits, in a final that will be played on Friday 21.

Min. 00Shakhtar Donetsk, who have been resisting a UEFA Cup final since winning it in 2009 against Werder Bremen, cannot be in Cologne. He could not eliminate Sevilla in the 2015/16 campaign or Inter Milan in this edition.

Immediately after, Danilo D 'Ambrosio won the back of Mykola Matvyenko in a corner to score the 2-0 that gave tranquility. The Italian has scored three goals in his last five meetings with Inter, as many as he had scored in his 58 previous appearances.

Min. 00The semifinal was put on track by Lautaro Martínez, taking advantage of a Pyatov error that Nicolò Barella did well with an exquisite center. The Argentine forward is the soccer player with the most goals scored in the first 30 minutes of play (13 goals) this season in the main five European leagues, more than Robert Lewandowski (12) or Ciro Immobile (11).

Min. 00In addition, 'Big Rom' has directly participated in 18 goals during his last ten Europa League games, scoring 14 goals and providing four assists.

Min. 00Lukaku's double in these semifinals leads him to extend his particular record in this competition. The Belgian is the first footballer in UEFA Cup / Europa League history to score in ten games, in a streak dating back to November 2014 with Everton.

Min. 00INTER IS A FINALIST OF THE EUROPE LEAGUE !!! With the 5-0 winning on the scoreboard, Szymon Marciniak prefers not to give any minute of advantage and end the Europa League semi-final. The 'nerazzurri' sweep Shakhtar Donetsk off the map with a superlative performance by Romelu Lukaku and Lautaro Martínez, both authors of two doubles that lead the Milan team to Cologne, where they will face Julen Lopetegui's Sevilla. The order and experience of the interistas was too much for the mining team, which had no way of breaking down the defensive system set up by Antonio Conte. Deserved victory for the Italians.

Min 82FACT. Romelu Lukaku's first season in Milan is a true fairy tale. He has 32 goals in 50 meetings with 'La Beneamata'. The Antwerp giant is also the best away scorer in the top five European leagues in 2019/20.

Min. 75Romelu Lukaku assists in Lautaro's goal.

Min. 75GOOOOOOOOOOOOL OF LAUTARO MARTÍNEZ !!!! INTER MILAN 3-0 SHAKHTAR DONETSK. Lautaro's double !! Taras Stepanenko's mistake when losing a ball in his own field was punished by Inter with a goal in just three touches. They steal, Lukaku and Lautaro extend the goal in the cage.

Min. 73FACT. Romelu Lukaku is playing his 50th match with Inter tonight among all competitions, more than any other Serie A player in the 2019/20 campaign. He is the first Inter player to reach this milestone in a single season for Javier Zanetti (52) and Samuel Eto'o in 2010/11.

Min. 72Romelu Lukaku's shot !!! Andriy Pyatov saves! Lautaro Martínez makes a buoy to enable the Belgian forward, throwing it in the race to finish with a centered shot.

Min. 71Inter is a block in defense. Impenetrable for Shakhtar Donetsk. They do not have any defensive fissures, which makes the task difficult for the Ukrainian team.

Min. 71Final straight of the match at the Merkur Spiel-Arena! Twenty minutes remain, plus the added one, to meet Sevilla's rival in the UEFA Europa League final.

Min. 69FACT. Danilo D 'Ambrosio's last target in European competition came in October 2014 when he participated in Inter's victory against Qarabag (2-0) in the 2014/15 UEFA Europa League.

Min. 68Those of Conte begin to glimpse Colonia on the horizon. The advantage of two goals places them as the main candidates to play the final against Sevilla next Friday. The Shakhtar has a little over twenty minutes to avoid it.

Min. 67Mazazo for the interests of the 'Pitmen', to whom the meeting is very difficult. They must show the ability to react.

Min. 67Conte strengthens the defensive line with the entry of Cristiano Biraghi, whose profile is much more defensive than Ashley Young's. Rest for the Englishman, ex Manchester United.

Min. 65It's the highest scoring season in Inter Milan's history !! He has scored 108 goals in the 2019/20 campaign, one more than in 2006/07 and 1950/51. New interista record.

Min. 62HANDANOVIC AVOIDS THE GOAL OF SHAKHTAR DONETSK !!!! WHAT THE SLOVENIAN HAS AVOIDED !!! The lateral center of Mykola Matvyenko finds Júnior Moraes, whose header is repelled by the interista goalkeeper.

Min. 61Only eight actions with the ball by Shakhtar Donetsk within Handanovic's area, just two less than those signed by Inter Milan. The battle is brewing in the core.

Min. 61We reached game time in Düsseldorf. Inter retains its minimal advantage, achieved thanks to a goal from Lautaro Martínez. The Shakhtar is not putting forward enough arguments to even the contest.

Min. 60Luis Castro moves to make his team react. Take Alan Patrick off the field to get Manor Solomon.

Min. 59Taison is booked for a foul on Bastoni. First cardboard shown by Szymon Marciniak.

Min. 57Not a shot from the mining team in almost an hour of the game.

Min. 56Dodô interferes in sending Barella to Lautaro Martínez. The Argentine was looking to finish off after an intermission by his teammates in the area but the Brazilian side intercepts that pass.

Min. 55Shakhtar Donetsk's possession persists in this second period but the individualities are not coming to the fore.

Min. 54FACT. Donetsk, 'colony' of Brazil. The succulent contracts offered by the technical secretariat of the mining team and the great scouting work make Shakhtar an ideal destination for talented Brazilian footballers. In the current squad there are a total of 11.

Min. 53On the ground Godín. The Uruguayan is injured after being hit with the arm by Júnior Moraes.

Min. 52Fueeeeeeeeeeera !!! Lukaku tries without success !!! Great defensive action by Davit Khocholava, giving space to the Belgian instead of going to collide with him. The Antwerp takes advantage of these meters to position himself and place it at the far post. His shot misses the goal.

Min. 51And now the warning is from Taison, cheering himself up from medium distance with a shot that goes too wide.

Min. 50Another one from Lautaro Martínez !! At the exit of a corner, Lautaro has the opportunity to hit from the edge with a dry kick that Pyatov blocks in two halves.

Min. 49PYATOV STOP !!!! YOU HAVE AVOIDED THE 2-0 !!! Lautaro cooks it and Lautaro eats it. The Argentine anticipates Davit Khocholava, steals the ball and sees Pyatov ahead, so he tries a balloon from far away. The Ukrainian goalkeeper reaches for a corner.

Min. 48FACT. Júnior Moraes reaches 50 matches in UEFA competition tonight. During this period, the Brazilian-Ukrainian, who arrived in Donetsk in the 2018/19 season after defending the elastic of Dynamo Kiev and Tianjin Tianhai, has scored 21 goals (12 in the Europa League).

Min. 47There are no changes in any of the two teams. Both Antonio Conte and Luis Castro jump to the Merkur Spiel-Arena with the same players who started the duel.

Min. 46THE SECOND PART STARTS IN DÜSSELDORF !!!

Min. 01To understand Junior Moraes' poor performance, it can be explained with the numbers of Stefan de Vrij, who has 83% of duels won (six) in the first period. It is the highest percentage in the interistas, equaled with Lautaro Martínez (six duels won)

Min. 01If Lukaku doesn't respond, Lautaro Martínez does. This pair of tips is giving many joys to the interista fans. To such an extent that they make up the first duo with 20 or more goals scored each for Inter in a single season since the 2004/05 campaign. The last ones who had achieved it were the 'Emperor' Hadrian and Obafemi Martins, key precisely in the last antecedent that was lived against Shakhtar Donetsk.

Min. 01Nor is he enjoying Romelu Lukaku, marked very closely by Davit Khocholava. In addition, the Belgian begins to show somewhat nervous and impatient with his teammates, with whom he is not fully understanding. The last to receive the focus of his anger has been Marcelo Brozovic, whose pass in one of the last plays of the match was not in line with the unchecked striker born in Antwerp.

Min. 01By contrast, Shakhtar Donetsk went to the locker room without a single shot on target. It has not been, so far, the best night for a Junior Moraes disconnected between the Inter centrals.

Min. 01Inter Milan managed to find the bottom of the net in the first shot between sticks of the game. Until then, Conte's men had not had the chance to test Pyatov, whose only job tonight has been to respond with a heavy hand to a strong shot by Nicoló Barella.

Min. 01Rest at the Merkur Spiel-Arena !! Szymon Marciniak decrees the end of the first period! Inter Milan take the road to the changing rooms with an advantage on the scoreboard thanks to the goal of Lautaro Martínez, assisted by Nicoló Barella and taking advantage of an error by Andriy Pyatov in the exit of the ball from behind. Until then, Shakhtar Donetsk had managed to show themselves more comfortably and with the idea of ​​dominating from the control of the game but the Argentine's target has opened a favorable scenario for the 'Nerazzurri'. For the moment, the Ukrainians have finished the first act with more possession but without the ideas or the speed required to put Samir Handanovic in a tight spot.

Min. 45END OF THE FIRST PART!!

Min. 45One minute discount in Düsseldorf. We will go until 46 '.

Min 44The Ukrainian team lacks a speed march. With the withdrawal of Inter, Luis Castro's men live in the opposite field, but their circulation is not fast enough to generate problems for the Inter defense.

Min 44Marcos Antonio's shot! After a very long combination of passes, the Brazilian midfielder is encouraged with a mid-distance whip that takes too much flight.

Min 42Inter is given a truce. He gifts the ball to Shakhtar Donetsk while defending close together on the inside.

Min. 41The team led by Luis Castro has gone from more to less. Shakhtar Donetsk's individualities don't shine tonight. Inter is forcing him to turn to the bands as an escape route from the traffic jam inside.

Min 40Final stretch of the first period in Düsseldorf. Inter dominate, both in the construction and possession of the game and in the score (1-0). It is worth it with the target of Lautaro Martínez to pass from Nicolò Barella.

Min 39FACT. Romelu Luka (six) and Junior Moraes (eight) are the players with the fewest ball actions in the match. Both forwards started as the main attractions of the game in the previous one.

Min 38Barella does not arrive! He is just a few inches short of anticipating Pyatov! The Italian makes a breakaway that enables him to enter the area alone but the Shakhtar goalkeeper, attentive to the development of the game, arrives earlier to avoid the occasion.

Min 37Desperate Romelu Lukaku. The Belgian is not having his best game and is just participating in the weight of the game. In large part thanks to a superlative Davit Khocholava who keeps him at bay at all times.

Min. 36Junior Moraes can't finish well! The Brazilian-Ukrainian, unable to give direction to the center that Marlos hung.

Min. 35FACT. Nicolò Barella's international debut with the Absolute of the Italian national team was in October 2018 in a friendly in Genoa against Ukraine (tie to one). The Cagliari-born footballer was a starter and in the Ukrainian goal was Pyatov, who today defends the sticks of Shakhtar Donetsk.

Min. 34Nicolò Barella's shot !! Pyatov sends her to a corner !! The Italian international is looking for a dribble shot soon to surprise the Ukrainian goalkeeper.

Min 33Aware of Pyatov's mistake, Inter do not squeeze the goalkeeper and they float when he has the leather on his feet. The tips cover the centrals and the pressure lengthens to force him to hit the ball up.

Min 32The mining box has completely lost control of the ball. Inter now takes the initiative, looking for the sides as an exit resource.

Min. 31FACT. The 'Nerazzurri' are undefeated in their UEFA duels against Ukrainian teams, with a record of five wins and three draws. They recently defeated Dnipro in the group stage of the 2014/15 Europa League. Will you do the same tonight with the Shakhtar?

Min. 31Half an hour of play at the Merkur Spiel-Arena. Lautaro Martínez's target puts Inter Milan ahead on the scoreboard. Right now he would face Sevilla in the final in Cologne.

Min. 29Chance for Shakhtar Donetsk! The first for the Ukrainians! Marlos caracolea inside the area and serves it backwards so that Junior Moraes connects a shot that Stefan de Vrij touches to send to a corner.

Min. 28Diego Godín's yellow card is played with an ugly entry on Alan Patrick. Szymon Marciniak warns him verbally.

Min. 27Conte has found a way to harm the team led by Luis Castro. Hanging centers are a weakness for the Ukrainian defense, at a clear disadvantage when it comes to stopping Lukaku or Lautaro's unchecking.

Min. 26THE ONE THAT HAS HAD THE INTER OF MILAN !!!! FUEEEEEEERAAAAAAAA !!! Ashley Young's center back wanders around Pyatov's area until he is finished off by D 'Ambrosio at the far post. His shot is not good and he grants a second chance to Lautaro Martínez, who fails to direct the ball between the three sticks.

Min. 25Shakhtar Donetsk's step forward is opening gaps between midfield and the Ukrainian defense. Now Lautaro has more spaces to exploit his speed between lines.

Min. 24FACT. The interista team has reached 107 goals in this 2019/20 season among all competitions. It equals the records of 2006/07 and 1950/51, its highest scoring campaigns in its history.

Min. 23Inter Milan has won in order as a result of Lautaro Martínez's goal. In a way, he has taken a step back and given up meters for Shakhtar Donetsk to come out of their half of the field.

Min. 22Lautaro's first goal in this edition of the UEFA Europa League! The Argentine had contributed to the Inter scores but had not yet been able to celebrate a target. He comes from scoring five in the group stage of the Champions League (six games).

Min. 21Match stopped in Düsseldorf. Danilo D'Ambrosio momentarily leaves the playing rectangle after having a small gap in his eyebrow.

Min. 20The second time has come the charm. Inter have not wasted Pyatov's second failure at the start to get ahead on the scoreboard. The Ukrainian goalkeeper was already close to committing his teammates minutes before with another defective shipment that had intercepted the 'Nerazzurri' team.

Min. 20The assistance is from Nicolò Barella.

Min. 20GOOOOOOOOOOOOL OF LAUTARO MARTÍNEZ !!!! INTER MILAN 1-0 Shakhtar Donetsk. LAUTARO OPENS THE SCOREBOARD !!! Pyatov's mistake that costs Shakhtar a goal !! The goalkeeper seeks to give a frontal pass that Barella intercepts. The Italian overflows Mykola Matvyenko and puts her in the heart of the area so that his shipment is headed by the Argentine.

Min. 18There is also too much respect between both teams. Now it is the mining team that is managing to loosen up with the ball, with a lot more personality.

Min. 17Inter are not at all comfortable with Shakhtar Donetsk's proposal. Neither Lautaro nor Lukaku are having weight in the game, so many of the virtues of the Milan team are reduced.

Min. 16FACT. They are the third semi-finals of the UEFA Cup for Shakhtar Donetsk. In the 2008/09 edition, he reached the final after eliminating Dinamo Kiev, while in the 2015/16 season he was eliminated by Sevilla (5-3 aggregate).

Min. 15First quarter of an hour in Düsseldorf. Marking (0-0) does not move. There was also no scoring chance so far.

Min. 14Another loss in offensive phase. Romelu Lukaku's driving is slowed by being surrounded by rivals, so the Belgian looks for a pass to the front of the area. It does not reach any recipient, so the Shakhtar regains possession.

Min. 13Low pace of play at the Merkur Spiel-Arena. There are too many inaccuracies when either team reaches the three-quarters of the field.

Min. 12Now it is Shakhtar who wants to set the pace and give his personality to the development of the game. Exchange of prominence during this brief period of time.

Min. 11Taison is offered from the left sector to generate the game of the 'Pitmen'. The former Metalist Kharkiv is looking to unblock his team's offensive football.

Min. 10Long possessions of the Italian team. Shakhtar Donetsk is not concerned, as the passes they intertwine are in the middle of the interior field.

Min. 09FACT. It is the eighth time that Inter Milan has reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup (opened in the 1971/72 season). The Italians advanced to the final in four of the previous seven, being eliminated against Real Madrid (1984/85 and 1985/86) and against Feyenoord (2001/02).

Min 08The pressure of the 'Nerazzurri' team hinders the movement of Shakhtar Donetsk. Neither Marcos Antonio nor Stepanenko are connecting with the mining defense.

Min 07The ball passes through Pyatov's area! The shipment from the right sector cannot be headed by Diego Godín.

Min 06Dangerous foul in favor of Inter Milan! Mykola Matvyenko's mistake trying to clear the ball. D 'Ambrosio struggles to get hold of the leather, subsequently forcing a foul a few centimeters from the large area.

Min. 05Score minutes at the Merkur Spiel-Arena in Düsseldorf. Those of Conte try to be protagonists with the ball.

Min. 04FACT. Inter Milan have scored 106 goals in all the competitions they have played in the 2019/20 campaign. He is just one target away from equaling 107 goals scored in 2006/07 and 1950/51, his record in a single season.

Min. 03Junior Moraes is positioned as the main offensive reference for Shakhtar Donetsk, immediately followed by a line of three that seeks to complicate the clean exit of the ball from Inter. The veteran striker, scorer in this Europa League, is the first to launch the pressure.

Min 02Game interruption in the first minute of the match. Interista players have voluntarily thrown the ball out of bounds. Brozovic explains to Szymon Marciniak that the ball is not swollen enough. Antonio Conte does the same with the fourth official.

Min. 01THE GAME START IN DÜSSELDORF !!!! THERE IS A TICKET AT PLAY TO DISPUTE THE FINAL ON FRIDAY IN COLOGNE !!!

Min. 00We already have both teams on the pitch! This is about to go! Are you going to miss it?

Min. 00The meeting will be led by referee Szymon Marciniak, assisted on the wings by his compatriots Paweł Sokolnicki and Tomasz Listkiewicz, with Pawel Gil in the VAR. The Pole, an international referee since 2011, has accumulated more than 80 UEFA matches as experience (19 in the Champions League).

Min. 00After scoring three of Shakhtar Donetsk's seven goals in Germany's 'bubble' (a double against Wolfsburg and a goal that opens the scoring against Basel), Júnior Moraes cannot go unnoticed as the main threat to Antonio Conte's interests . He has participated in seven goals in seven games in the Europe League with the mining team, all those meetings in the knockout phase of the competition.

Min. 00The great proper name for tonight is Romelu Lukaku. The Belgian became the first player in UEFA Cup / Europa League history to score in nine straight games, in a streak dating back to November 2014 with Everton. The Belgian forward has been involved in 15 goals in his last nine Europa League games (12 goals and three assists).

Min. 00The team led by Luís Castro is the team with the best average of goals scored (2'8 per game) in this edition of the Europa League. They have scored 14 goals in just five games.

Min. 00Since falling out of the Champions League, Inter have won all four of their Europa League games this season. The last time he won five in a row in a major European competition (excluding qualifying rounds) was between December 2009 and April 2010 (six), on his way to the Champions League final.

Min. 00On the contrary, Shakhtar Donetsk seeks to resurface on the Old Continent once again. The Ukrainians are trying to reach their second European final after the 2008/09 UEFA Cup final when they managed to eliminate Dynamo Kiev in the semi-finals and defeat Werder Bremen in the final.

Min. 00Inter Milan had not reached the semifinals of a European competition since they lifted the Champions League in the 2009/10 edition. Despite all the time they have been away from these instances in Europe, regardless of whether it is the Europa League or the Champions League, those from Milan accumulate their eighth European semifinal, more than any other team.

Min. 00There is only one antecedent in which the two sets have measured forces. It was in the qualifying phase for the 2005/06 Champions League and the 'Nerazzurri' team won 3-1 on aggregate over the miners.

Min. 00ONCE DE GALA ALSO AT THE SHAKHTAR !!! Recovered for the cause after serving the corresponding penalty game, the return of Georgian Davit Khocholava, replacing Valerii Bondar, at the center of the defense is the only change that Luis Castro makes with respect to the alignment used against Basel.

Min. 00NO SURPRISES IN THE INTER !!! Antonio Conte does not revolutionize or change what is working perfectly for him. Therefore, the Italian coach is betting on the same eleven players who started against Getafe and also against Bayer Leverkusen.

Min. 00For his part, Luís Manuel Ribeiro de Castro comes out with the following eleven players (4-2-3-1): Andriy Pyatov – Dodô, Sergey Krivtsov, Davit Khocholava, Mykola Matvyenko – Marcos Antonio, Taras Stepanenko – Marlos, Alan Patrick, Taison – Junior Moraes.

Min. 00We already have the initial eleven confirmed !! Antonio Conte puts the following line-up into the fray (3-5-2): Samir Handanovic – Diego Godín, Stefan de Vrijo, Alessandro Bastoni – Danilo D 'Ambrosio, Nicolò Barella, Marcelo Brozovic, Roberto Gagliardini, Ashley Young – Romelu Lukaku and Lautaro Martinez.

Min. 00Shakhtar Donetsk's unbeaten schedule is slightly longer than Inter's. And it is that the boys of Luís Castro add eleven undefeated matches, winning nine of them. The Ukrainian champions, whose style of play relies on quick transitions and direct play, have not been defeated since March 15 when they narrowly lost against Zorya Luhansk in the Russian Premier League.

Min. 00In that sense, during this time phase only Bologna (1-2 at Giuseppe Meazza) has managed to beat Inter Milan, beyond the draws against Naples (1-1 at Coppa Italia), Sassuolo (3- 3 in Serie A), Hellas Verona (2-2 in Serie A), Roma (2-2 in Serie A) and Fiorentina (0-0 in Serie A).

Min. 00A winning streak will come to an end at the Merkur Spiel-Arena in Düsseldorf. And it is that both teams arrive at this appointment with very good results dynamics. The 'Nerazzurri' team has chained ten games without losing and has only played in one of the 16 official matches (Serie A + Coppa Italia + Europa League) that they have played since the resumption of competitions after the period of confinement.

Min. 00However, it will not be an easy task for Conte's team, as they face the team that has probably been more self-sufficient in ensuring their presence among the four best teams in the Europa League. The miners passed over Wolfsburg in the round of 16 (5-1 aggregate) and left their mark in the quarterfinals against Basel (4-1), placing themselves 2-0 in favor after 20 minutes of play.

Min. 00After concluding Serie A 2019/20 as second classified, just one point behind Juventus Turin, the 'Nerazzurri' have passed with some solvency the round of 16 procedures against Getafe (2-0) and against Bayer Leverkusen in rooms (2-1). The powerful physical version worn by Romelu Lukaku and the collective's choral work are the main assets that make Inter Milan a clear contender for the final in the city of Cologne.

Min. 00Eliminated in the group stage of the Champions League, both Inter and Shakhtar have found in the Europa League a safe conduct to have a season finale in style. The Italians finished third in Group F of the Champions League while the Ukrainians lost their tickets towards the round of 16 of the top European club competition in favor of Manchester City and Atalanta. Ahora, están a noventa minutos de asegurarse la plaza como finalista en esta competición, donde ya espera el Sevilla de Julen Lopetegui.

Min. 00¡Muy buenas noches a todos! Sean bienvenidos a la retransmisión de este partido entre el Football Club Internazionale Milano y el FC Shakhtar Donetsk, correspondiente a las semifinales de la UEFA Europa League. ¡Comenzamos con la previa del encuentro (21:00h)!
