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.

.
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
