Sevilla shook Old Trafford and fired Man United

Sevilla won 2:1 on Old Trafford and Manchester United after the first meeting of the Champions League`s eighth finals ended 0:0. Wisam Ben Yedder secured the victory of Vincenzo Montella`s team. The striker appeared in play in the 72th minute and six minutes later he scored two goals. Romeo Lukaku returned one shot in the 84th minute, but United had no strength to do anything else.




The hosts organized several good attacks in the first minutes of the match mentioned by soccer rankings against Sevilla. Already in the second minute, an excellent combination ended with Lucaku`s inaccurate stroke. Then Rashford`s shot was blocked. Gradually, however, the Red Devils stepped in and the guests began to control the ball. At the tenth minute after a corner kick, Corea detected the ball with a head and it passed a little over the door. There followed a period when Seville had a slight advantage and tried several shots, but they did not threaten De Hea`s door.

In the 28th minute, Muriel was put in a good position but did not hinder the home keeper. Shortly afterwards he failed to finish the guests` excellent attack. In the last half of the first half, United stepped and pushed. The best situation was created after a double between Felaini and Sanchez, with the Belgian firing strongly, but the corner was tough and Sergio Rico reflected the strike.

Rashford and Lingdard managed to overcome the opponent`s defense but did not find a good shot in the penalty area. Agitation in front of Rico`s door also ended with a blow and Seville`s defense coped with the pressure.




At the beginning of the second half, both teams showed a greater desire to attack the opposing door. The Spaniards made several excellent combinations, and in the 48th minute Joaquin Corea was put in a good po sition in the penalty area. He went past Rapsford, but he delayed and Eric Baiy with an extraordinary knock at very important moment managed to knock the ball off his feet. Manchester United`s response was Ligard`s breakthrough and diagonal shot, which Rico managed to knock out and the ball went off the bar. Both teams had more aggression in the game, and Seville did not pull back and whenever possible try to attack. Alexis Sanchez got a good chance after Rauford`s 57th minute. The Chilean strike was blocked. The guests immediately set up a dangerous attack, and Bayei did not allow Muriel to shoot near De Hea. Paul Poga was included in the game in the 59th minute. The Frenchman did not manage to contribute much by the end of the meeting. In the 72nd minute Vincenzo Montella made a change that turned out to be more decisive. Ben Yeder appeared on the pitch, replacing Muriel at the top of the attack. Two minutes later he found the score. An excellent quick attack e nded with a passage to Ben Jeder in the penalty area, and he mastered and sent the ball to the left corner of De Hea.





Mourinho reacted by releasing Marciail and Mata to replace Ligard and Valencia. Manchester United, however, received a second goal in four minutes, and Ben Yedder, who scored his tenth goal in the Champions League again this season, was once again his author. The French striker fired his head and despite De Hae`s attempt to knock the ball back?
