The opening stages of the match were characterized by high intensity from both teams. Despite the intensity in these early minutes, there were no clear chances, except for some corners from the home team. These corners were dealt with effectively by goalkeeper Mamour Sené, who had little to do in the match.
The first half was not very creative in terms of play from the Seville team, although there were some flashes of good play. The team would create more chances after the expulsion of the local number 10 for headbutting Javier Estévez without the ball. The visiting team had some opportunities, but they were not clear-cut.
After the break, the match resumed with the home team down to ten men, but this was not a problem for Nervión. This team would control the entire second half, generating chances that the Sevilla defense managed to stop. In the final minutes of the match, following a counter-attack, Nervión found the back of the visitors’ net, thus taking the lead on the scoreboard. Pedro Berruezo had a clear free kick in the final play, but it went just over the crossbar.
