Holders Sevilla remain on course to win a second successive UEFA Cup title after brushing aside Osasuna to book their place in the May 16 final at Glasgow's Hampden Park.

Sevilla trailed 1-0 after the first leg in Pamplona but they produced an impressive display at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan on Thursday night to take a 2-1 aggregate victory.

Brazilian duo Luis Fabiano and Renato Dirnei scored in either half for Sevilla, who now have the chance to become only the second team to defend their UEFA Cup title after Real Madrid.

Elsewhere, Miroslav Klose's early dismissal proved costly as Werder Bremen were condemned them to a heavy aggregate defeat that sent Espanyol into the UEFA Cup final to face holders Sevilla.

Klose received his marching orders for two bookable offences shortly after Miguel Hugo Almeida had given Werder a glimmer of hope.

Trailing 3-0 from the first leg, the order was too tall for Bremen after the Germany striker's red card, and they were caught out by second-half goals from Ferran Coro and Jesus Lacruz.
