Zenit Saint Petersburg win 5–1 on aggregate.

Russian club Zenit Saint Petersburg booked their place in the 2007-08 UEFA Cup Final with a victory over Germans Bayern Munich, 4-0 on the night and 5-1 on aggregate.

Pavel Pogrebnyak opened the scoring after five minutes, and Konstatin Zyrianov doubled Zenit's lead six minutes before half-time.

Viktor Fayzulin made it three eleven minutes into the second half, and Pavel Pogrebnyak completed the rout with seventeen minutes left.

Despite scoring two goals, Pogrebnyak received a yellow card and, as a result, will miss the final.

Zenit Saint Petersburg will meet Scottish club Rangers in the final, which will be held in Manchester, England, on May 14, 2008. Rangers were formerly managed by Zenit's current boss Dick Advocaat.
