Sevilla beat Barcelona 4-1 in a vibrant and action full of action. The local team opened the early scoreboard with a penalty converted by Alexis Sánchez, and expanded his advantage with some of Isaac Romero. Although Marcus Rashford cut distances before the break, Barça never managed to match the rhythm or success of the Sevillists.
In the second half, Sevilla was even more effective. José Ángel Carmona and Akor Adams took advantage of two lethal counterattacks to sentence the match, while Barcelona wasted his best opportunity when Robert Lewandowski failed a penalty. Despite several offensive attempts, the culé team was overcome in intensity and efficiency.
The match was loaded with cards, with reprimands for several players of both teams, reflecting the tension in the field. Although the VAR intervened on a couple of occasions, there were no great controversies. The overwhelming victory leaves good feelings for Sevilla and many doubts to solve in Barcelona.
