2020-08-21T19:57:34.520Z

HT: That was an even more entertaining half of football than we could have anticipated, and the game is finely poised ahead of the second half. Both managers will be telling their players that they can go on and win this. Both are probably right…

45 min: Close! Ocampos flicks a Banega free-kick goalward, but Handanovic tips it over the bar!

And that’s the last action of the half!

40 min: What a game we have on our hands. It’s still end-to-end stuff at the moment, though neither side has carved out a clear chance since Godin’s goal.

GOAL!

2020-08-21T19:37:03.473Z

GOAL! Sevilla 2-2 Inter (Godin) 35 min

Sevilla are ahead for a matter of moments before Inter equalise! Brozovic curls in an inviting free-kick and Godin rises to meet it, heading past Bounou! What a game!

GOAL!

2020-08-21T19:34:25.743Z

GOAL! Sevilla 2-1 Inter (De Jong) 32 min

It’s that man again! He waits and waits at the back post and then guides a header past Handanovic from quite some distance! It’s a very different header from his equaliser, and Sevilla come from behind to lead!

2020-08-21T19:28:03.353Z

27 min: Banega sends in a free-kick and Ocampos meets it with a header from distance, but the ball flies well over the bar.

25 min: Captain Navas is looking very sharp on the right for Sevilla. He provided the assist for his team’s equaliser and he’s been tidy defensively.

2020-08-21T19:22:29.790Z

22 min: Ocampos fizzes a shot narrowly wide of Handanovic’s near post! The Sevilla forward has been lively so far.

YELLOW CARD

2020-08-21T19:19:26.976Z

17 min: Yellow card for… Conte! The Inter coach goes into the book for remonstrating with the referee. The Italian’s players were putting pressure on the man in the middle, Makkelie, moments prior, and the Dutchman was having none of it.

2020-08-21T19:16:13.623Z

14 min: It’s back-and-forth action at the minute and Ocampos gets a shot off from a dangerous position. Handanovic gets down well to keep the Sevilla forward’s effort out, however.

GOAL!

GOAL! Sevilla 1-1 Inter (De Jong) 12 min

Well, Inter didn’t stand firm for long! De Jong makes a run at the near post and stoops to head Navas’ cross past Handanovic in the Inter goal! Game on!

2020-08-21T19:12:06.263Z

10 min: Sevilla are right back at Inter, peppering their box with crosses. It’s a promising response from Lopetegui’s men, but Conte’s defenders are standing firm.
