found Mario Gomes who made a perfect run but his shot was bashed over the
crossbar. Fiorentina were the side with possession and chancesa in the opening
minutes but Sevilla recovered and came back quickly and it turned out into a
goal too. In the 17th minute Vitolo ran down the left and squares to
Bacca who calmly passes to Vidal who rifled it into the corner to make it 1-0.
Sergio made a fine save to deny Mohammed Salah from point blank range. Sevilla
played really well for the remaining minutes of the first half but they
couldn’t find their second goal.

the free kick resulted in nothing. The second goal came in the 52nd
minute when Sevilla stole possession in midfield and gave it Aleix Vidal who
coolly finished it into the near post
.
In the 75th minute Bacca came off for Gameiro and
it made immediate impact as he scored after just 26 seconds after he came on to
the pitch. Tremoulinas darted down the left and cut back to Vidal who changed
direction to Gameiro and he colly tapped in from close range to make it 3-0
