Maccarone ace for brave Boro

Middlesbrough 4 Steaua Bucharest 2 (Aggregate: 4-3)

The £8.15 million Italian, who fired the Teessiders into the last four with a last-minute goal against Basle, struck a minute earlier this time around as Boro pulled off a heroic comeback against all the odds.

Just as they had done against the Swiss, Boro trailed 3-0 to Steaua Bucharest after goals from Nicolae Dica and Dorin Goian, and the Romanians had one foot in Eindhoven for the final on May 10.
