WE GO TO THE PENALTIES
However, in City’s first dangerous move in the half, Rodri was again essential for Pep Guardiola’s men. He saw the entry of a Cole Palmar to give him the draw and the resurrection of his team, who grew from there and sought with much more determination the goal of a Sevilla who fought tooth and nail to take the penalty kicks to enforce.
Draw after the 90 regulatory minutes that will decide, to face the new champion of the European Super Cup 2023 at the launch from eleven meters. Sevilla came out with a much better presence on the pitch in the second half, with a Manchester City that was not there and allowed the Seville citizens to grow, reaching the goal with great danger from an Ederson facing Youssef En-Nesyri . and again, to stand her ground.
Minute 89. BONUS TAKES IT OUT UNDER STICKS!! Free kick thrown by Phil Foden to the far post, where Nathan attacked Aké with a move similar to that of the first half, returning to finish with a header and forcing the Sevilla goalkeeper to put his hands in to get the ball prevent slipping into the net attached to the crossbar.
Minute 85. Last five minutes waiting for replenishment and Manchester City are the team that return to dominate the presence with the ball in search of a goal that evades the penalty shootout. 70% ball possession in the game for the citizen. And very little of an Erling Haaland in the game that the Sevilla defenders have dried up.
Minute 78. He besieges Manchester City against Sevilla!! It seems that José Luis Mendilibar’s students will have a hard time holding the tie. Erling Haaland couldn’t get his shot to end up between the three sticks, but Kyle Walker’s lateral throw was about to slip into the net, forcing Bono to knock it onto the side of his goal.
Minute 64. EDERSON APPEARS AGAIN!! The Brazilian goalkeeper slammed the door on Youssef En-Nesyri in a sensational way. Ball filtered through Lucas Ocampos to eliminate the Moroccan striker who fails to beat the Manchester City goalkeeper on his way out. Another chance at the feet of the Sevilla ’15’ that goes out.
Minute 63. Gooooooooooooo Cole Palmer! MANCHESTER CITY 1-1 Seville. City band with a header! Rodri’s peripheral vision watching from the left saw Cole Palmer attack Marcos Acuña’s back from the right lane, arriving only to finish with a header for a Bono who couldn’t do anything.
Minute 49. EDERSON AVOID THE SECOND!!! Youssef En-Nesyri again failed to beat the Brazilian goalkeeper! And what a career for Lucas Ocampos! Directed against Sevilla by the Argentine winger who topped Kyle Walker’s entry in his career to go to the front of the opposing area and make a pass to the other side where the Moroccan striker came in who, only for Ederson, took a shot that repelled with the feet of the Manchester City goalkeeper.
Half-time victory for a Sevilla who completed a great first half where they started applying high pressure that made it difficult at all times to get the ball out behind a Manchester City that couldn’t be deep. Only once did Bono have to intervene resolutely, who kept the Sevillans steadfast in his game proposal with a great save, responding to a header from Nathan Aké.
End of the first part!
30 minutes. Lamela has had the second one in her boots!! Long serve for Oliver Torres who wins the back line to the corner and from there decides to serve a low and strong pass behind, before the entry of the Argentinian striker who, measuring himself against an opponent, takes a step forward before trying to score with effect shooting towards the far post that ultimately leaves little for the bottom line. Seville warns again.
25 minutes. Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool for Youssef En-Nesyri! Manchester City 0-1 SEVILLA. Above all, the Moroccan striker finished it off! Marcos Acuña’s center from the left wing, right in the heart of the area where he was measured, between Nathan Aké and Josko Gvardiol, Youssef En-Nesyri to attempt a shot that saw him fly over everyone and head straight into the net.
minute 15. Sevilla continue with their idea of the game and try to intimidate Manchester City with their high pressure which gave them such good results in the first minutes and which remains annoying for now as the citizens start from behind.
minute 7. BONUS STOP!! The goalkeeper of Sevilla avoids the first! Middle to the far post who was looking for the entrance of Nathan Aké and who manages to finish with a header in the presence of the Moroccan goalkeeper, who he forces to pull reflexes to get hold of a ball that the citizens fans have already were licking lips to sing the first of them.
Start the meeting in Athens! The title of the European Super Cup is at stake! First ball of the match to move Manchester City.
Minute’s silence before the match dispute for those incidents surrounding a match in Greece that resulted in at least one casualty.
–Sevilla and Manchester City have met four times and always in the group stages of the UEFA Champions League (2015-16 and 2022-23), with the England team winning all four games (2-1, October 2015; 1-3 November 2015 ; September 0-4, 2022; November 3-1, 2022).
–Jose Luis Mendilibar can’t stand up against Pep Guardiola. The Catalan coach won seven of his eight games where they met on the bench, although the Basque coach’s only win came in their most recent game, in the 2011-12 season, in which Osasuna won 3-2 against FC Barcelona.
–Sevilla have only managed to win one of their last five matches against English teams in European competition (D1 L3), this being the last they have played, beating Manchester United 3-0 at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán.
