#2 Sevilla’s clever subs turn the tale of the game
Trending
Until the 81st-minute, everything was hunky-dory for the visitors who seemed to deny Sevilla any real chances in their own box, despite a better performance in the second half. However, the Argentine manager made a few changes which had a huge impact on the game.
Trailing by a goal, Sampaoli brought on Pablo Sarabia for holding midfielder Vincente Iborra, who was already on a yellow card, and signalled Sevilla’s intent of attacking despite Madrid creating better offensive chances.
Stevan Jovetic was another influential figure to make an impact after being subbed on for Franco Vazquez. And they took no time to threaten the Madrid backline, as the Montenegrin striker and Sarabia were at the forefront of their Sevilla’s fightback.
Real Madrid were on the back foot after Sergio Ramos’ own goal which led Jovetic to strike the iron when hot, eventually helping him mark his first league appearance with a dramatic winner.
