The Spanish Football season kicked off tonight with the 1º leg of the Spanish SuperCup between Sevilla FC & FC Barcelona. Although Sevilla has had more playing moments over Barça coming up into this match, the final result Sevilla FC 0 - FC Barcelona 2 was a surprise.
A surprise because many put a high degree of confidence towards all the new Sevilla FC signings & especially the "new" playing methods of new Sevilla FC Argentinian Coach Sampaoli. The new Coach promised more intensity along with more playing Football, but both goals from Barça came from precision counter-attacks.
Although Sevilla was intense, very on top of Barça halting their habitual style of Football, two counters broke Sevilla in half. The first a brilliant Denis Suarez pass to Arda Turan in the square who chested the ball into the path of Luis Suarez in the 53rd min who scored.
The second goal came from Barça substitute Munir in the 84th min from a precision Lionel Messi pass.
Two away goals which makes it very difficult for Sevilla to be able to turn the result around at the "Camp Nou" Stadium in the 2º nd leg match. The bad news for Barça was the injury to Mathieu & Iniesta.
