In the 13th minute, Alexis Sanchez found himself one-on-one with the goalkeeper on a penalty, and secured Sevilla’s first goal of the match. Isaac Romero scored right before halftime, putting Sevilla up 2-0. The stadium erupted after every attack, and the energy was exhilarating. Right before the second half, England international Marcus Rashford found the back of the net with his left foot. In the second half, Sevilla sealed the win with a far corner shot by Jose Angel Carmona.
