VILLARREAL 1 SEVILLA FC 3 | EUROPA LEAGUE RESULT

Europa League 1º leg matches played tonight with the only two Spanish Football Clubs left in the competition meeting each other. The final result went to the visitors SEVILLA FC winning 1 - 3 the home team VILLARREAL & taking away for the 2º leg clash two important away goals that obviously puts them in the "drivers seat" to advance to the next stage.

Villarreal were caught "cold" at the kick-off when Sevilla FC scored first after only 15 seconds. Knock-out blow that caused Villarreal to be always behind & playing catch-up to the visitors. By the 25th min Sevilla was two goals up & had Villarreal on the ropes. 

Villarreal reacted in the second half & pulled one back in the 47th min, but Sevilla FC reacted quickly & scored their 3rd goal in the 49th min. From here Sevilla stood firm & halted the numerous Villarreal attacks, with Sevilla goalie Rico outstanding making some magnificent saves. 

Here is the order of tonights goals:

• Vitolo 15 sec. , 0 - 1
• MBia 25th min, 0 - 2
• Vietto 47th min, 1 - 2
• Gameiro 49th min , 1 - 3

Deserved win for Sevilla which has the tie well directed for them with a 2 goal advantage. Villarreal will feel frustrated as they failed to convert their numerous chances & will - I am sure - give their best go at Sevilla for the 2º leg.
