Sevilla started the game a point clear of drop zone and would have hoped their continent chasing hosts would take their feet off the pedal, but that was dashed 13 minutes in when Georges Mikautadze squared to Gerard Moreno to open scoring.

A report by Tribal Football added, “With 18 minutes to play, the home crowd were stunned as the visitors completed the turnaround. Alexis Sanchez broke up the play within seconds of coming on.

“Juanlu Sanchez and Djibril Sow worked the ball across the area to Akor Adams, who rifled it past Tenas at the near post (after which) Jose Angel Carmona’s header off the line thwarted Pau Navarro’s powerful deflected strike.
