#1 Sevilla’s hapless second half performance
Trending
It was a fantastic start for the 2015 UEFA Cup winners. Taking the early lead, it was the perfect recipe to provide a fitting blow to the Old Lady. But that start was squandered carelessly, as the side lost cohesion. Ridiculous tackles, needless fouls - all of these combined to take the plot away from the Spanish side.
The coach failed to guide his team and see off the match. They were playing at a frenetic pace in the first half but gave it all away in the second 45 minutes. It was a performance replete with naivety and puerile tactics.
Otherwise, with the quality at his disposal, Sampaoli could have trumped the injury-depleted side of Juventus. Instead, the Bianconeri ran amok in the second half, scoring twice and running away with all three points.
