The '''2006 UEFA Cup Final''' was a [[association football|football]] match that took place at [[Philips Stadion]] in [[Eindhoven]], Netherlands on 10 May 2006 as the culmination of the [[2005–06 UEFA Cup]]. The match was contested by [[Middlesbrough F.C.|Middlesbrough]] of England and [[Sevilla FC|Sevilla]] of Spain. Both sides were making their first appearance in a European final; it was Middlesbrough's second season of European competition, while Sevilla had more previous experience in both the UEFA Cup and the [[European Cup]]. Both sides had qualified for the competition based on their domestic league positions the previous season, and entered in the first round. To reach the final, they subsequently had to progress through the group stage and knockout rounds to reach the final. Middlesbrough eliminated [[VfB Stuttgart]], [[AS Roma|Roma]], [[FC Basel|Basel]] and [[FCSB|Steaua București]] in the knockout stages, while Sevilla beat [[FC Lokomotiv Moscow|Lokomotiv Moscow]], [[Lille OSC|Lille]], [[FC Zenit Saint Petersburg|Zenit Saint Petersburg]] and [[FC Schalke 04|Schalke 04]].

In front of a crowd of 36,500, Sevilla dominated the final. They took the lead in the 27th minute, when [[Luís Fabiano]] headed in a cross from [[Dani Alves]]. Middlesbrough switched to an attacking formation in the 70th minute, but Sevilla were able to counter-attack, and doubled their advantage when [[Enzo Maresca]] scored from a rebound. Maresca scored his second six minutes later, and [[Frédéric Kanouté]] added another for Sevilla in the final minute, to make them 4–0 winners.

==Background==
The [[UEFA Cup]] was an annual football club competition organised by [[UEFA]] since 1971 for eligible European football clubs. Clubs qualified for the competition based on their performance in their national leagues and cup competitions. It was the second-tier competition of European club football, ranking below the [[UEFA Champions League]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2018/feb/14/europa-league-is-back-more-than-ever-competition-to-savour-round-of-32-arsenal|title=The Europa League is back and more than ever is a competition to savour |first=Sachin |last=Nakrani |date=14 February 2018 |access-date=11 May 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191129004712/https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2018/feb/14/europa-league-is-back-more-than-ever-competition-to-savour-round-of-32-arsenal |archive-date=29 November 2019 |url-status=live}}</ref> In 2009, the UEFA Cup evolved into the Europa League.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/competitions/europa-league/5344380/Europa-League-Guide-to-Uefa-Cups-replacement-tournament.html |work=[[The Daily Telegraph]] |title=Europa League: Guide to Uefa Cup's replacement tournament |access-date=11 May 2020 |date=19 May 2009 |first=John |last=Ley |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170531010253/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/competitions/europa-league/5344380/Europa-League-Guide-to-Uefa-Cups-replacement-tournament.html |archive-date=31 May 2017 |url-status=live |url-access=limited}}</ref>

Middlesbrough had made their [[Middlesbrough F.C. in European football|first appearance in European football]] the previous season, when they were eliminated 4–2 by [[Sporting CP]] in the last-16. Sevilla's [[Sevilla FC in European football|best European season]] had also been their first, when they reached the quarter-finals of the [[1957–58 European Cup]], before suffering a heavy 10–2 aggregate loss to [[Real Madrid CF|Real Madrid]]. The two sides had never previously met. Middlesbrough qualified for the tournament due to their seventh-place finish in the [[2004–05 FA Premier League]],{{sfn|Match Press Kit|2006|p=1}} while Sevilla had finished sixth in the [[2004–05 La Liga]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.rsssf.org/tabless/span05.html |title=Spain 2004/05 |website=[[RSSSF]] |access-date=11 May 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/printoutfiles/competitions/uefacup/2005/e/e_84102_pk.pdf |title=Middlesbrough FC v Sevilla FC: Match Press Kit |publisher=Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) |format=PDF |date=9 May 2006 |access-date=11 May 2020 |ref={{sfnref|Match Press Kit|2006}} }}</ref>

===Summary===
The final was played at [[Philips Stadion]] in [[Eindhoven]], [[Netherlands]] on 10 May 2006, and kicked off at 20:45 [[Central European Summer Time|CEST]].{{sfn|Match Press Kit|2006|p=1}} The match was attended by 36,500 people.<ref name="bbc-report">{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/4751467.stm |title=Middlesbrough 0–4 Sevilla |work=[[BBC Sport]] |date=10 May 2006 |access-date=11 May 2020}}</ref> Sevilla kicked off the match, and had the first attack in the second minute: [[Dani Alves]] shot wide. Two minutes later, the Sevilla defender [[Javi Navarro (footballer, born 1974)|Javi Navarro]] fouled [[Mark Viduka]], conceding a [[Free kick (association football)|free kick]] which [[Fábio Rochemback]] struck straight at the Sevilla goalkeeper, [[Andrés Palop]]. Sevilla attacked twice more in the opening ten minutes, but on both occasions, the Middlesbrough defender [[Chris Riggott]] was able to put the ball behind for a [[corner kick]].<ref name="guard-mbm">{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2006/may/10/minutebyminute.sport |title=Middlesbrough 0 – 4 Sevilla |last=Adamson |first=Mike |work=[[The Guardian]] |date=10 May 2006 |access-date=11 May 2020}}</ref> After 20 minutes, Sevilla attacked down their right wing;<ref name="espn-mbm">{{cite web |url=https://www.espn.co.uk/football/commentary?gameId=197126 |title=Middlesbrough vs. Sevilla – Football Match Commentary |work=[[ESPN FC|ESPN Soccernet]] |date=10 May 2006 |access-date=11 May 2020}}</ref> Alves had the opportunity to shoot, but passed the ball across to [[Javier Saviola]], whose shot was blocked by [[Gareth Southgate]]. Six minutes later, Sevilla attacked through Alves again. He crossed the ball to [[Luís Fabiano]] who headed the ball in off the post to give Sevilla a 1–0 lead. Three minutes later, Sevilla had another chance at goal, but [[Adriano (footballer, born 1984)|Adriano]] shot went over the crossbar. In the 34th minute, Middlesbrough won another corner, but it was easily cleared by the Sevilla defence. In the final five minutes of the first half, Sevilla pressed hard for a second goal, consistently putting crosses in the Middlesbrough penalty area. Their closest effort came when [[Julien Escudé]] headed wide from a [[José Luis Martí]] free kick, but despite their pressure, it remained 1–0 at half-time.<ref name="guard-mbm"/>

Both sides made changes at half-time: Middlesbrough replaced [[James Morrison (footballer)|James Morrison]] with [[Massimo Maccarone]], while [[Frédéric Kanouté]] replaced Saviola for Sevilla. The Spanish side continued to dominate the attacking play in the second half, and had two attacks in the first five minutes: [[Luís Fabiano]] could not connect with a cross from Alves, and shortly after Kanouté curled a shot wide.<ref name="guard-mbm"/> In the 51st minute, Middlesbrough had a rare attack; a free-kick from Rochemback was headed on by Riggott for [[Mark Viduka]], who fired a shot from close-range, which was saved by Palop.<ref name="bbc-report"/> Two minutes later, Alves was booked for foul on [[Stewart Downing]]. Middlesbrough had another chance at goal in the 59th minute, when Maccarone mishit a cross, which had to stopped at the near post by Palop.<ref name="guard-mbm"/> An injury to the defender Queudrue saw him replaced in the 69th minute; the ''[[BBC Sport]]'' report said that "McClaren went for broke", by replacing him with a striker, [[Yakubu]].<ref name="bbc-report"/> Sevilla also made a change, bringing on [[Renato (footballer, born 1979)|Renato]] to replace Fabiano. Alves penetrated the Middlesbrough defence again in the 73rd minute, and forced a save from Middlesbrough's goalkeeper, [[Mark Schwarzer]]. Middlesbrough had two attacks in quick succession: Viduka missed the target in the 75th minute, and appealed for a penalty after a strong challenge from Navarro two minutes later; however, the referee, [[Herbert Fandel]], was unmoved. Sevilla went on the counter-attack directly after the appeal;<ref name="guard-mbm"/> outnumbering Middlesbrough, who had committed too many players to their attack, the ball was played wide to [[Jesús Navas]], who passed it to Kanouté. The Malian striker shot was blocked by Schwarzer, but the rebound fell to [[Enzo Maresca]], who scored to make it 2–0. Maresca scored his second six minutes later, with a low shot from 20 yards,<ref name="bbc-report"/> which ''[[The Guardian]]''{{'}}s Mike Adamson suggested Schwarzer should have saved. Both sides each made another substitution: Viduka was replaced by [[Lee Cattermole]], and [[Antonio Puerta]] replaced Adriano. In the 89th minute, a shot from Navas was palmed away by Schwarzer, and Kanouté connected with the rebound to put Sevilla 4–0 ahead.<ref name="guard-mbm"/>
