Shakhtar Donetsk set up an all-Ukrainian UEFA Cup semi-final clash against Dynamo Kiev by securing a smash and grab 2-1 triumph over Marseille at the Stade Velodrome to round off a 4-1 aggregate victory.

Shakhtar built on their 2-0 home win in last week’s quarter-final first leg by going taking the lead on the half-hour mark through Fernandinho.

Needing to score four goals without reply, OM pulled one back when Hatem Ben Arfa slammed home two minutes before half-time but that was all they could manage.

After soaking up lots of pressure, Shakhtar broke forward three minutes into second-half injury time and Luiz Adriano finished with aplomb to seal victory on the night.

Dynamo, 15 points clear of Shakhtar at the summit of the Ukrainian top flight, are next stop for Mircea Lucescu’s men, while Marseille the new leaders in France’s Ligue 1 – are left to concentrate on winning their first domestic title since 1992.
