UEFA Cup Result: Everton Reach Final 32


Everton 1 - 0 Zenit St. Petersburg

It has been so long since Everton last ventured into Europe beyond Christmas that the competition in which they advanced no longer exists. The Cup Winners' Cup triumph of 1985 is the zenith of the club's achievement on the continent but new ground was broken here last night. For the first time in 23 years they can at least dream of emulating Kevin Ratcliffe's Rotterdam glory when winter recedes.
