Sevilla vs. Inter Milan - 21 August 2020

Minute		Description
90' +7		FULL-TIME: Sevilla 3-2 Inter
90' +5		Bastoni launches the ball long when Inter belatedly get possession back, but his pass bounces over Lukaku's head and behind for a goal-kick. Inter, competitive for so much of this match, have struggled to respond to Diego Carlos' goal.
90' +4		The Sevilla substitutes are all on their feet, ready to celebrate, urging their team-mates to see out victory.
90' +3		This is playing into Sevilla's hands. They have the ball in Inter's half, and Moses can only hack out of play for a throw-in, taking more time off the clock.
90'		A. Candreva enters the game and replaces D. Godín.
90'		Conte is really going for it with just seconds remaining. Candreva replaces Godin.
89'		Bounou breathes a sigh of relief. Eriksen's cross deflects towards Sanchez, who falls backwards as he attempts to control. Navas controls on his chest and Bounou can gather.
88'		Sevilla are running this clock down by any means possible. En-Nesyri quickly hits the deck after challenging with Brozovic. Inter cannot get the ball back right now.
86'		N. Gudelj enters the game and replaces Diego Carlos.
86'		A second Sevilla change belatedly follows. Diego Carlos appears to delay the substitution by going down before he makes way for Gudelj.
85'		Y. En-Nesyri enters the game and replaces L. de Jong.
		De Jong's sublime shift comes to an end. After two goals, he makes way for En-Nesyri.
		Sevilla are successfully frustrating Inter in the closing stages. Sanchez is flagged offside, forcing Inter to start again. They go right and Moses can only push the ball behind for a goal-kick.
80'		Sevilla continue to cause real problems from free-kicks. Banega crosses and Kounde heads over the top.

Minute		Description
79'		It would be slightly surprising if this game ends without a red card. Both sides have been appealing to the referee for dismissals almost from the outset. The latest such claim is against Barella, who concedes only a free-kick for his high boot on Vazquez.
78'		A. Sánchez enters the game and replaces L. Martínez.
		C. Eriksen enters the game and replaces R. Gagliardini.
		F. Vázquez enters the game and replaces Suso.
		V. Moses enters the game and replaces D. D'Ambrosio.
		Here come a raft of changes after that potentially decisive goal. First, Eriksen replaces Gagliardini.
		Finally, there is an attacking change on the right flank, with Moses on for D'Ambrosio.
		There are three Inter changes in all. The second sees Martinez off for Sanchez.
		Sevilla bring Vazquez on for Suso.
74'		R. Lukaku is unfortunate, scores an own goal!
74'		GOOAAALLLL!!! OWN GOAL? OR DIEGO CARLOS! It does not matter to Sevilla... they lead again! It's 3-2 as Diego Carlos launches into an overhead kick as the ball bounces up in the Inter area. The ball looks to be heading wide but strikes Lukaku, who turns an effort into his own net. After Diego Carlos' errors and all those Lukaku goals, this is quite the twist!
73'		R. Gagliardini gets yellow.
73'		Set-pieces played a big role in the first-half goals. They are starting to come with some regularity again now, as Gagliardini is booked for tugging back Navas.
72'		Good goalkeeping again from Bounou. Martinez wins a free-kick from Kounde on the left and Young delivers. A teasing set-piece just evades the waiting Inter shirts as Bounou punches firmly clear.
71'		M. El Haddadi enters the game and replaces L. Ocampos.
71'		There is the change. Ocampos hobbles off for Munir.
69'		Patient play from Inter takes them deep into the Sevilla half, only for Brozovic to inexplicably overhit a pass left to Bastoni. The ball goes out of play and the Nerazzurri's work is swiftly undone.
63'		The final ball is lacking at the moment. Both teams were clinical before the break, but chances are now at a premium and the rare remaining openings have not troubled the target.
61'		Sevilla continue to put good crosses into the box, but neither De Jong nor Ocampos can get close to the ball. Instead, Ocampos drifts out to the left and attempts a spectacular right-footed shot, missing the top-right corner by some distance.
59'		Just over from Young! Inter work the ball smartly down the right and Brozovic wins a corner, which is taken short. Young eventually shoots from a central position but cannot hit the target.
55'		A. Bastoni gets yellow.
55'		Bastoni goes into the book. He leaves a foot in on Suso as the winger plays the ball inside from the right.
54'		Banega plays a chip into the box to De Jong, who controls well and then looks to beat a man but is crowded out. Sevilla keep the attack alive, but Suso's left-footed shot is tame and easily blocked.
51'		A couple of niggly fouls are just slowing the pace. Barella is sandwiched between Diego Carlos and Banega, who have both already been booked. Just a free-kick.
49'		There is a slightly more reserved start to the second period than there was to the first. Inter are able to keep the ball at the back for an extended period.
47'		Diego Carlos endured a tough first half. His first involvement in the second period is a wild first-time shot from 35 yards that lands well over the top.
46'		KICK-OFF: De Jong gets us back under way in Cologne!
45' +2		HALF-TIME: Sevilla 2-2 Inter
45' +1		There will be a minimum of one minute of added time at the end of this first half.
45'		Banega accepts a yellow card for halting Inter's latest counter. Gagliardini skips away from the Sevilla number 10, who lifts his leg to make sure the Inter man advances no further.
44'		É. Banega gets yellow.
43'		The momentum is swinging back and forth in this one. Bastoni hacks the ball out of play as Sevilla force Inter back. This has been a gripping contest so far.
41'		N. Barella gets yellow.
41'		Barella goes into the book as he runs into the back of Banega, who executes a wonderful flick to tempt the challenge.
39'		De Jong might have had a hat-trick if he was more alert! Navas fizzes in another excellent cross, but De Jong is slow to react as the ball passes through the box.
35'		D. Godín has scored a goal for Inter Milan! Assist by M. Brozović.
		GOOAAALLLL!!! GODIN! LEVEL AGAIN! Another free-kick, another goal! Godin arrives at the far post for a close-range header as Sevilla are instantly pegged back. 2-2!
		It is another costly foul from Diego Carlos. He brings down Lukaku once more and Brozovic sends in a superb free-kick for Godin to head in.
33'		L. de Jong has scored a goal for Sevilla! Assist by É. Banega.
		GOOAAALLLL!!! DE JONG AGAIN! It's 2-1 Sevilla! Sensational! What a header this is! De Jong's first header was a stooping header at the near post, this is a towering effort from the far post, giving Handanovic little chance. Stunning. Sevilla have turned it around again.
		Banega gets the assist this time, winning and taking a free-kick from right of centre 30 yards from goal. It is an inviting delivery but, as with his first, De Jong finishes superbly.
30'		Inter enjoy a promising spell, getting men forward in attack with two of their three centre-backs also pushed on. But Sevilla hold firm on the edge of their own box.
28'		Lukaku races in behind and stays onside but is all alone. The forward holds the ball up and his hopeful cross is only half-cleared, allowing Gagliardini to send in a deep centre. D'Ambrosio heads well wide.
27'		Navas wins a cheap free-kick from Martinez 30 yards from the Inter goal, giving Banega an opportunity to deliver. He finds Ocampos, but a speculative Ocampos header loops over.
26'		Sevilla look a real threat when aiming crosses in towards De Jong. Bastoni gets up really well to beat the forward to Reguilon's delivery.
25'		Ocampos was a slight doubt for this game and has gone down a couple of times already. He quickly recovers from his latest apparent knock following a challenge with D'Ambrosio, though.
24'		The game has finally just settled for the first time. A Young cross from the left comes to nothing.
20'		Good defending! And Navas is not happy with Martinez! The Inter forward breaks following Sevilla's wasted free-kick, ignoring the option of Lukaku to his left. Martinez gets into the area and goes to ground, but Navas gets the ball and cannot believe the forward appeals for a penalty. No foul.
19'		D'Ambrosio and Reguilon clash again! Sevilla again get a free-kick but no more, and Inter clear easily.
15'		So back come Sevilla. Ocampos cuts inside from the left and sends a tame shot straight at Handanovic.
12'		L. de Jong has scored a goal for Sevilla! Assist by Jesús Navas.
		Navas gets the assist with an inviting right-wing cross, but De Jong has plenty to do as he gets across the defender at the near post to hit the target.
		GOOAAALLLL!!! DE JONG! He's done it again! The much-maligned Sevilla striker scored a simple winner in the semi and now has an impressive equaliser in the final! The Dutchman stoops to send a powerful header goalwards, and Handanovic can only help the ball into the roof of the net. 1-1!
11'		Sevilla win a corner on the right, which is delivered deep towards De Jong. A header back across goal briefly appears to give Diego Carlos an opportunity to make amends, but he cannot make clean contact with an overhead kick and fails to get a header on target from the next cross.
8'		Sevilla were on the front foot from the off, but now Inter, a goal up, are dictating play. Sevilla recovered from an early setback in the semi-final, of course, when Diego Carlos similarly conceded a penalty against United.
5'		Penalty goal scored by R. Lukaku for Inter Milan!
5'		GOOAAALLLL!!! LUKAKU! Clinical from the spot! The Inter striker continues his stunning scoring streak with a low finish into the bottom-left corner, even with Bounou diving the right way. 1-0 Inter!
4'		Diego Carlos gets yellow.
4'		Diego Carlos escapes with just a yellow card, with Sevilla defenders covering in the centre. The Inter players are not happy.
3'		Suso's initial free-kick from the left is nodded clear. The ball is returned to the box following a throw-in, but Fernando's acrobatic strike is blocked.
1'		KICK-OFF: Lukaku gets us up and running in Germany!
1'		Sevilla quickly take control of possession and a ball down the left flank sees D'Ambrosio and Reguilon collide. The Spanish side get a free-kick as D'Ambrosio puts his arm up towards Reguilon's face, but they want a red card. The referee disagrees.
