Sevilla FC joins FC Barcelona as maximum representatives of Spanish Soccer in European Finals this season, with the latter playing in the Champions League Final.
Sevilla FC travelled to Italy with a very favourable 3 goal advantage after defeating Fiorentina 3 - 0 in the 1º leg match. The Italians knew that it would be an extraordinary performance from their end if they were to turn this semi - final tie around. However, all their hopes - & perhaps "dreams" - faded when Sevilla went ahead in the 22nd min when Carlos Bacca scored. The knock-out blow then followed with a second Spanish goal in the 27th min from Carriço which demoralized the Italians & put things totally beyond them.
Said this, the Italians pulled from pride & attempted to at least score a goal or two to soften the scoreline, but Sevilla goalkeeper Rico made some outstanding saves to halt Fiorentina in their endeavour. Plus it was not their night at all, as Fiorentina missed a penalty when Lilcic kicked above the bar.
Sevilla FC now meets the Ukrainians Dnipro in the UEFA Europa League Final at the end of this month after the later defeated Napoles in their semi-final 2º leg match 1 - 0.
