In the event of a tie after two legs , the number of goals scored away was decided first , then an overtime, if no decision was reached after two 15 minutes, a penalty shoot-out followed.

These were Girondins Bordeaux , Werder Bremen , Shakhtar Donetsk , Olympique Marseille , Aalborg BK , AC Florence , Dynamo Kiev and Zenit St. Petersburg . No teams from one country met in this round. Such restrictions no longer apply after the round of 16.

Quarter finals
The first leg took place on April 9, the second leg on April 16, 2009.
Semifinals
The first leg took place on April 30, the second leg on May 7.

final
The 2009 UEFA Cup final was the first to take place on non-European soil. Istanbul had already hosted the Champions League final in 2005 in the Ataturk Olympic Stadium , but the Kadıköy district , where the record champions Fenerbahçe Istanbul is based, is on the Asian side of the city. Due to the drawn semi-finals, it was already clear after the quarter-finals that the final would be a German-Ukrainian duel.

Logo of the 2009 UEFA Cup Final in Istanbul
For the first time since Ukraine gained independence, Shakhtar Donetsk was a club team from Ukraine in a European Cup final. Meanwhile, with SV Werder, a team from Germany had moved into a European Cup final for the first time, after Borussia Dortmund last played in the UEFA Cup final and Bayer 04 Leverkusen in the Champions League final in 2002.
Bremen trainer Thomas Schaaf plagued great staffing concerns. Diego and Hugo Almeida were suspended, Mertesacker injured. After the initial sampling phase, the game picked up speed, both teams played at eye level, with Donetsk showing the more clarified game system. As the game progressed, Bremen adjusted to the Ukrainians 'style of play and had the action under control, but found no remedy against the Ukrainians' well-organized cover. The goal for Donetsk fell out of nowhere: Rat passed from his own half forward, where Fritz misjudged and Luiz Adriano got the ball. The Brazilian prevailed against Naldo and spiked the ball with his right outer instep over Wiese (25th). In the 35th minute, Naldo hit with a 30-meter free kick. Bremen now continued, but could not prevail decisively. In the second half, Bremen was initially pushed back on the defensive. Donetsk was the leading team, but did not act purposefully enough. In the final phase, error prevention was a top priority on both sides. So it went into overtime. Donetsk had a game again, but was not mandatory. Bremen was solid and waited for the opponent to make mistakes. But in 97th minute, Srna prevailed on the right side and passed in the middle to Jadson, who turned from eleven meters directly into the lower left corner. Wiese was on the ball, but couldn't parry. From now on the Ukrainians only played for time. The Donetsk Brazilians marked injuries every minute, several times even without interference from the opponent. Bremen pushed vehemently for the compensation. After 111 minutes, the substitute Tziolis came to the shot, but the ball passed the right post. In the final minute, Pizarro managed to get the ball into the goal, but the referee Medina Cantalejo said the Peruvian had played a foul beforehand. Shortly afterwards the referee whistled off the game; Shakhtar Donetsk was the UEFA Cup winner and the first Ukrainian European Cup winner since Ukrainian independence.
