At the City of Manchester Stadium and in front of 44,000 supporters, including 10,000 fans who'd made the trip from St. Petersbrug, Zenit beat Scotland's Glasgow Rangers 2-0 in the final.
The goals came in the second half, with the first scored by Igor Denisov from an Andrey Arshavin assist in the 72nd minute and Konstantin Zyryanov sealing the win in injury time to ensure the blue-white sky blues lifted the UEFA Cup for the first time.
