Glasgow Celtic and Porto advanced Thursday night to the final of the UEFA Cup, the No. 2 tournament for European soccer clubs.

Henrik Larsson scored in the 80th minute as Glasgow Celtic won 1-0 at Portugal's Boavista and advanced on 2-1 aggregate.

In Rome, Porto played a scoreless tie against Lazio and advanced on 4-1 aggregate.

Glasgow Celtic and Porto, who play in the final on May 21 at Seville, Spain, have not won the UEFA Cup before. Porto won the European Champions Cup -- Europe's top club tournament -- in 1987.
