Uefa Cup:Dynamo Kiev became the first club through to the Uefa Cup semi-finals after strolling past Paris St Germain in the Ukraine today.

Dynamo, who had managed a goalless draw in Paris in the first leg, broke the deadlock after just four minutes when Guinea forward Ismael Bangoura scored with a low drive from just outside the box.

PSG goalkeeper Mickael Landreau helped Dynamo double their advantage 12 minutes later when he punched Olexandr Aliyev’s cross into his own net.

Landreau played his part in third as well when he failed to hold an Aliyev free-kick and Ognjen Vukojevic finished it and PSG off.

Kiev will meet Ukraine rivals Shakhtar Donetsk or French side Olympique Marseille for a place in the final.
