A 95th-minute goal from Sevilla midfielder Stephane M'bia gave his side a place in the final of the Europa League.

The goal in the last minute of injury time Thursday broke Valencia hearts when it looked as if they were about to produce their second heroic fightback in two rounds, reports Xinhua.

Valencia led 3-0 on the night and 3-2 on aggregate thanks to goals from Sofiane Feghouli, an own goal from Sevilla goalkeeper, Beto and a second half strike from Jeremy Matthieu.

Time was running out on the clock and the fans in the Mestalla Stadium were celebrating their place in the final when M'bia popped up to score that saw Sevilla through on away goals.
