Sevilla's bid to become the first side to lift the trophy three years running got off to a great start when they opened the scoring through Vitolo after six minutes.
Shakhtar produced a spirited response, though, with two goals in 15 minutes from Marlos and Taras Stepanenko to lead at halftime before Kevin Gameiro's 82nd-minute penalty left the Spaniards favourites to progress with two away goals.
The crowd at the Lviv Arena was within eight minutes of seeing the match finish 2-1 to the hosts, only for Kevin Gameiro's 82nd minute penalty to give the defending champions a high-scoring draw which will make them overwhelming favourites to progress to the final.
