Ukraine's Dynamo Kiev reached the quarter-finals of the Europa League football tournament, beating England's Everton 5-2 here in the second leg, to advance with a 6-4 aggregate result.
The Olympic stadium here on Thursday drew a sell-out crowd of 67,553 fans representing a new Europa League record, reports Xinhua.
The massive crowd gave the match a thrilling atmosphere and inspired the team from Kiev to victory.
Dynamo opened the scoring in the 21st minute with a strike by winger Andriy Yarmolenko, but Everton striker Romelu Lukaku equalised eight minutes later.
Shortly afterwards, forward Lukasz Teodorczyk put the hosts 2-1 up and midfielder Miguel Veloso made it 3-1 in the 37th minute with a powerful shot into the top left corner.
The other two goals of Dynamo were scored by winger Oleg Gusev on 56 minutes and striker Vitorino Antunes at the 76th minute.
