A controversial goal from Juventus with time expired stops Sevilla

In the last breath, Sevilla became deadly. It seemed that that sip of the Europa League that Old Trafford drained and had given him enough strength to defeat Juventus and have one foot in the final. That advantage was lost in the last play of a game that dominated 90 minutes and the six added. But the German referee stretched out a tad more, just enough for Chiesa to take a corner, Pogba combed it and the center-back Gatti ended up heading it towards the goal. Luck, this time, was elusive to the sevillistas. [Narration and statistics]

Football did not do justice to the Mendilibar team. The lambskin with which Sevilla jumped to Juventus Stadium did not last very long. The contention that the Basque wanted against a rival with pediguí who had not yet given up in his stadium vanished as soon as they noticed that he could dance with the Italians. After a cross shot from Kostic that was more intimidating than dangerous, Ocampos read the game. He forced a header from a Rakitic cross and had a second chance. The mobility of the Argentine was going to complicate the aged Turin defense a lot, as much as Ángel Di María did when his team had the ball, which was very little.

Juve wanted to run and the sevillistas accepted the challenge. from you to you. If an Argentine like Fideo found Vlahovic to force Bono to show off with a double save and then Kostic to give the Serbian the opportunity, another led the hosts of Sevilla to return the blows that they managed to link until they knocked out the allegri's men. Acuña tried with a long shot and then it was En-Nesyri who combed a cross that Ocampos did not know how to take advantage of. When the roles changed came the goal. He launched one against Oliver, searching the wing for the Argentine who saw the voracious Moroccan in the heart of the area. They had just given Juventus their own medicine. And they could double the dose. The Italians disappeared, they sank in their area and tried to survive without knowing how to contain the Sevilla winger or avoid the striker's stride, which could fatten the score.

The script that made them shine seemed like it could change with Ocampos's injury, but the team did not feel any orphanhood. The spark was kept by Acuña with long shots, En-Nesyri with a left-footed shot that brushed the post and Rakitic with a remote-controlled missile from outside the area that Szczesny managed to deflect. The Bianconera stands were embarrassed at half-time due to the poor image against the first responding rival.

Five changes in 60 minutes

Allegri had no choice but to turn his eleven around after the break. At the mercy of the Andalusians I could not continue. To sharpen the ends, he used Chiesa, whom Di Maria found between Gudejl and Badé, and Irling, who gave Bono a job, first to, with a spout in the area included, assist a Vlahovic who did not have his night either yesterday and he left the field frustrated with half an hour of the game to go.

Allegri had no patience with his men because nothing worked. Bonucci's injury was the only conditional change but in 1970 he had exhausted them all. A symptom that in this rocky and threatening Seville of Mendilibar he could not find where to get his hands on it. The key is that he did not give up in his attempt to open the tie. Sevilla scrambled to maintain their advantage, but they needed to hold on for just one more minute, the one that the German Siebert pulled out of his hat.
