    Free kick to Sevilla on the left wing after Salah bundles over Tremoulinas on the edge of the area on the wing. Vitolo gets it all wrong and it flies well out of play.

    Pressure from Fiorentina. Joaquin tries to float a delicate ball into Salah but the Egyptian is down after clattering into Tremoulinas and the ref waves play on.
    28'
    Lull in play as both sides take a breather from a very frenetic opening 25 minutes. A few loose passes showing the pace of the game is taking it's toll.
    27'
    Reyes dogged in trying to get forward as he is bundled over by Joaquin onthe right wing. Chance to swing one in.
    26'
    Sevilla are playing some very good football here and Fiorentina are really struggling to keep up with the pace of movement from Reyes, Vitolo and Bacca.

    CHANCE! What a cross and what a save! Tomovic puts in a low cross to the far post from the right and Salah meets it but the goalkeeper is out like a flash and saves for a corner.
    24'
    CHANCE! Fernandez again! He picks up the ball in the box off a deflected Joaquin cross. He manages to shift the ball round Carrico but his shot hits the goalkeeper in the chest and Sevilla can clear.
    23'
    CHANCE! Effort from Reyes as Sevilla are aggressive in their closing down. The ball eventually drops to Reyes on his chest but his volley is down into the ground and it is an easy enough save for NEto down to his left.
    22'
    Joaquin unhappy with a decision of handball when it appeared to come off his midriff. Sevilla back in possession.

    What looked like a lovely slide tackle from Fernandez on Mbia in the centre circle is given as a free kick and the Spaniards try to load the box but Savic is there to clear.
    20'
    Sevilla look very assured of themselves now. Kolo plays it forward to Bacca who sprays it left to Tremoulinas on yet another overlap but he can't get it under control and it goes out of play.
    19'
    CHANCE! How has he missed! Fernandez was just six yards out with time and space from the cutback but he gets it all wrong. It comes off his heel and flips up and over the crossbar.

    GOAL! Vidal nets from just inside the area after a Bacca pull back from a lightning counter attack. Tremoulinas makes his way down the left and cuts it to Vitolo who finds Bacca. HE spins and lays the ball to Vidal who makes no mistake. Lovely goal.

    11'
    CHANCE! Lovely play from Sevilla as Tremoulinas plays it inside to Banega who flicks it to Bacca. He turns beautifully to make himself some space but his shot is rushed from the edge of the area and the goalkeeper can save with ease.
