Emotional Sevilla take group spot
Alexander Kerzhakov pays tribute to Antonio Puerta
Kerzhakov pays tribute to Antonio Puerta after scoring
Two first-half goals from Luis Fabiano helped Sevilla qualify for the Champions League group stage with a 4-1 victory at AEK Athens.

The match had been postponed from last week following the death of Sevilla player Antonio Puerta.

Prior to the game, supporters clapped when a video tribute for Puerta was shown in the stadium and there was also a minute's silence.

Seydou Keita and Alexander Kerzhakov also scored in the 6-1 aggregate win.

Rivaldo popped in a consolation goal from the penalty spot after team-mate Gustavo Manduca had a penalty saved by Andres Palop earlier in the game.

Sevilla will now join Premier League side Arsenal, Slavia Prague and Steaua Bucharest in Group H of the Champions League.

Meanwhile, AEK Athens drop into the Uefa Cup where they will play Salzburg in the opening round.
