How the match went

Just eight minutes into the game, João Cancelo was brought down in the box by Sow and the referee awarded a penalty to Barcelona. Raphinha stepped up and scored with a cheeky chip to open the scoring. Nine minutes later, the Catalans were awarded another penalty after Carmona handled the ball, and Raphinha scored again, this time with a low shot into the corner.

At the 38th minute, Bernal received the ball on the left and crossed low for Olmo to burst into the box and finish first-time from the penalty spot, leaving Vlachodimos with no chance. Still in the first half, at the 48th minute, Juanlu lofted the ball into the area from the right and Oso finished at the far post to reduce the deficit.

In the second half, six minutes in, Fermín made a good play in midfield and passed into the box for Raphinha, who cut to his left and finished to score his third goal of the match, with a deflection off defender Gudelj. Nine minutes later, Cancelo broke down the left on a counterattack, entered the box, cut past Gudelj and fired with his right foot to score Barça’s fifth. In stoppage time, at the 47th minute, Oso crossed from a corner and Sow headed home to score Sevilla’s second.
