Shakhtar Donetsk 4-0 Braga (6-1 agg.): Record-breaking Srna leads rampant home side into semis

Dario Srna broke the Shakhtar Donetsk appearance record and scored as the club advanced to the Europa League semifinals.

Dario Srna marked an emotional night with a goal as he broke the Shakhtar Donestk appearance record in its 4-0 Europa League quarterfinal victory over Braga.

The Croatian fullback, making his 486th appearance for the Ukrainian giants, scored after 25 minutes at L'viv Arena to increase Shakhtar's lead in a tie that had swung heavily in its favor with a 2-1 victory in the first leg in Portugal.

The home side added a second shortly before halftime when Ricardo Ferreira put through his own goal, but Braga coach Paulo Fonseca was left fuming at the break after his side was denied a penalty when Ahmed Hassan was brought down with the tie still poised at 2-1.
