Sevilla v Manchester United Live Commentary & Result, 20/04/2023, UEFA Europa League

That's all for today, goodbye!

Sevilla's European run continues and they'll be facing Juventus, who beat CP Sporting 2-1 on aggregate, in the semi-final, with the away leg first for the Spanish side. Before that, they face Villarreal in LaLiga. United need to quickly put this performance behind them as they face Brighton and Hove Albion in the FA Cup semi-final on Sunday.

Sevilla are through to the Europa League semi-final after beating Manchester United 3-0 in the second leg, and 5-2 on aggregate. The hosts were on top from the very start and profited from a defensive mistake as Maguire's loose touch allowed En-Nesyri to score. They thought they had a second just before the break, but Ocampos' goal was ruled out for a tight offside against Acuna. Two minutes after the break, Bade looped in a second off his shoulder from a corner, and a De Gea mistake gifted En-Nesyri his second as he curled it into the empty net to seal the win late on.

90' + 4' FULL-TIME: SEVILLA 3-0 MANCHESTER UNITED (5-2 ON AGGREGATE).

L. Shaw

Yellow Card

90' + 3' Gil has a clear run through the middle and Shaw takes one for the team by clipping him from behind to break up the counter. He's booked for it.

90' + 1' Into four minutes of added time here, and United have a corner. Antony curls it into the far post and Maguire nods it down straight against Gudelj.

89' SAVE! United win the ball back high upfield and Casemiro squares it to Elanga. He drags it away from Bade on the edge of the box but fires his shot straight at Bounou.

A. Elanga

C. Eriksen

86' And the final change for United sees Eriksen, who has looked tired in the second half, going off for Elanga.

Alex Telles

M. Acuña

85' There's another change for Sevilla now, and Telles, who is on loan from United, comes on for the last few minutes in place of Acuna.

85' Sevilla break quickly on the counter once more, with Gil leading the charge down the left. He pulls it back to Suso, but he scuffs at the shot and sends it looping harmlessly over the bar.

83' United are still trying to push forward, for what would surely only be a consolation. Shaw makes a good run down the left, but his pullback is behind Rashford and Sevilla come away with it again.

Y. En-Nesyri

Goal

81' EN-NESYRI SCORES AGAIN! And that will send them into the semi-final! It's another moment to forget, this time for De Gea, who came a long way out of his box to clear Acuna's long ball. The keeper gets his first touch all wrong and it bounces to En-Nesyri, who rushes around him to curl a first-time effort into the empty net. 3-0 Sevilla!

Bryan Gil

E. Lamela

80' Sevilla are making their second change now. Lamela, who pulled up with cramp a few moments ago, goes off for Gil.

79' United are still pushing forward in search of a late goal here. Antony drives down the right and fizzes a dangerous low cross into the six-yard box, but nobody's there to get on the end of it.

77' United win a corner of their own at the other end, and Eriksen swings a deep cross into the far post. Maguire gets up, but he can't direct his header on target.

75' Rakitic's latest corner misses everyone on the near side, but Ocampos keeps it alive. He squares it to Fernando, but his rifled shot deflects wide off Lindelof.

Y. Bounou

Yellow Card

73' Bounou is dawdling over a goal-kick, and the referee books him for time-wasting.

72' CHANCE! Fred brings it down nicely before being pushed off the ball by Fernando. United have a free-kick in a good position, and Eriksen steps up and tries to curl it towards the far post, but it's deflected over.

70' Having failed to score in any of his first 14 appearances for Sevilla in all competitions, Bade has now scored in back-to-back games for the club.

Fred

M. Sabitzer

68' Fourth change for United now and it's Sabitzer that's making way for Fred.

66' Suso's long-range shot deflects out off Casemiro for another Sevilla corner, and En-Nesyri has a free header in the middle. He can't get any power behind it though, and De Gea comfortably collects.

64' Eriksen's first throughball came straight back to him, but he picks out Weghorst on the second attempt. He gets it out of his feet before going for goal, but Gudelj throws himself in front of it.

62' GOOD SAVE! Casemiro tries to thread it through to Weghorst, but it rebounds straight back to him off Gudelj. He takes it around the defender before having a go himself, and Bounou stretches to push it away.

61' The visitors are moving it quicker when they win it back, but their passing in the final third is still letting them down. Rashford knocks it out to Shaw, but his cross evades everyone in the middle.

Antony

Yellow Card

59' There's finally a break in play for the referee to go back and book Antony for having a slight kick out at Acuna when he was dispossessed.

58' United go for a more direct route this time, and Weghorst sends a lovely flick forward for Rashford. He drives into the box, but Navas gets across to nudge him off it.

Casemiro

Yellow Card

56' Casemiro sticks out a leg to stop Gudelj from breaking on the counter, and he picks up the first booking of the game. It means he'll miss the next game if United get through.

W. Weghorst

A. Martial

54' Martial has been gesturing to the bench that he needs to go off after picking up that injury earlier in the half. Weghorst is finally ready to come on for him, as the Frenchman limps off.

52' GOOD SAVE! Another Rakitic corner wreaks havoc in the United area. En-Nesyri thumps a header on goal and Ocampos tries to tap it past De Gea, who keeps it out with his legs. It's pinballing around the six-yard box and Casemiro eventually puts his laces through it.

51' Antony tries to break down the right, but Sevilla quickly win it back and Lamela teases another dangerous cross into the six-yard box. None of his team-mates are in there, but De Gea has to get down to tip it wide.

49' Martial went down off the ball during that corner, and he needed some treatment. He's back on his feet and moving gingerly, but he's carrying on for now.

I. Rakitić

Assist

47' It's a great cross into the box from Rakitic on the corner, and he picks out a team-mate at the near post.

L. Badé

Goal

47' BADE SCORES! What a start to the second half for United! Sevilla win a corner and Rakitic swings it into the middle. Bade gets in front of Casemiro, and it comes off his shoulder, but it loops over De Gea, who can't stretch to reach it, and it bounces in off the underside of the bar. 2-0 Sevilla!

46' Sevilla get us back underway for the second half!

L. Shaw

A. Wan-Bissaka

46' And Wan-Bissaka is also taken off, which will mean a move to right-back for Dalot. Shaw replaces him.

M. Rashford

J. Sancho

46' There's a double change for United at the start of the second half. Sancho is the first to go off, with Rashford on for him.

Mendilibar will be extremely pleased with his side's performance so far, and one more goal for them could be enough if the game carries on in the same way. United have been off the pace from the start, and Ten Hag may be thinking about making changes to try and get his team going and back into this tie.

Sevilla take a 1-0 lead into half-time in this game, meaning they lead in the tie for the first time, as it's 3-2 on aggregate. The hosts have been on top since the first whistle and profited early on from a defensive mistake to get their goal. Maguire, under pressure, gifted the ball to Lamela, who teed up En-Nesyri for the opener. Ocampos thought he'd made it 2-0 when he fired in at the near post, but VAR ruled it out for a tight offside.

45' + 5' HALF-TIME: SEVILLA 1-0 MANCHESTER UNITED (3-2 ON AGGREGATE).

45' + 3' Maguire sees a header blocked from a corner but then gifts it back to Sevilla, who break quickly on the counter. Ocampos surges down the right before fizzing a dangerous ball across the face of goal and Antony just helps it wide at the back.

45' + 2' BLOCK! Wan-Bissaka and Dalot have switched places for the moment, and the former slides it through to Casemiro. He decides to try his luck from just outside the box, and his shot is deflected wide of the far post.

45' We're about to go into four additional minutes here as United find themselves on the backfoot again. Suso tries to dribble past Lindelof and wins a free-kick when he goes down, but nothing comes of it.

43' There are half-hearted shouts for a penalty for United after Sancho goes down in the box. Fernando slid in, getting the ball with his leading foot, but taking the winger down with the follow-through. The referee is on top of it and says no spot-kick.

42' NO GOAL! It's the tightest of margins, but Acuna was just offside. Lindelof was sitting a lot deeper than the rest of the United backline, but Acuna was just slightly ahead of him and it won't count. Still 1-0 in this second leg!

40' OCAMPOS SCORES! It starts with a poor pass from Casemiro, and Wan-Bissaka is caught out of position as it's spread out to Acuna. He spots Ocampos in space on the edge of the box, so pulls it back to him, and the winger rifles it past De Gea and into the back of the net. VAR is having a look at this though...

39' BLOCK! United commit a lot of bodies forward and get caught out as Sevilla break quickly on the counter. Suso gets away from Sabitzer and slides it through for En-Nesyri. He fires it at goal, but Lindelof gets behind it.

38' SAVE! Lamela knocks it past Casemiro and finds a pocket of space just outside the D. He manages to poke a shot through the crowd, but it's straight at De Gea, who holds it.

37' It's packed down Sevilla's right side, so they try to switch play out to the opposite flank. Acuna breezes past Antony to open up space for a cross, but it's cut out by Lindelof.

35' CHANCE! Eriksen spots Antony in space down the right again and sweeps it out to him. He checks inside before teasing in a cross, but Casemiro gets too much on it and his header sails over the bar.

33' United's frustration is starting to show here as they're struggling to pass their way into the final third. Sevilla are leaving no space in behind, and breaking quickly when they do win it back.

31' Sevilla have dropped back into a deep compact shape, but United are still pushing forward. Casemiro looks to spread it out to Antony, but he's caught on his heels and Acuna hooks it away.

Suso

Marcão

29' Marcao is clearly upset as he makes his way straight off the pitch. Suso comes on for him, which will see Gudelj slot back into the back line.

28' Marcao clears the ball and then goes down with nobody around him. The medical team quickly come on to give him some treatment on his hamstring, but it looks like his game is over.

26' CHANCE! United are all over the place at the back again. It's a brilliant Rabona cross from Gudelj after he ghosted away from Lindelof and En-Nesyri cushions it down at the far post. Ocampos is running onto it, but De Gea collects.

25' Sabitzer brings down Gudelj with a clumsy tackle, and Sevilla have another free-kick. Rakitic takes it short to Fernando, but it doesn't work for the hosts and United clear their lines.

23' CHANCE! It's better from Sancho who drives down the left before cutting inside and laying it off to Antony. His first-time shot hits Sabitzer but bounces up nicely for Wan-Bissaka. He can't get anything behind the shot, and it's a comfortable save for Bounou.

21' In his 146th appearance for Sevilla in all competitions, En-Nesyri has netted his 50th goal for the club.

19' Rakitic slides it down the right for Acuna to chase, and he sends a deep cross into the back post. Ocampos brings it down, but can't wriggle away from Dalot to pick out En-Nesyri in the middle.

17' Antony's cross is blocked by Acuna's arm and United win a free-kick by the corner flag on the right. Eriksen swings it into the middle of the box, but it's thumped clear by Bade.

15' Rakitic steps up to take the free-kick that he won, but he can't get any height on the shot. He hits it straight against Maguire's chest and the visitors clear it on the second attempt.

14' United look rattled by Sevilla's quick start to the match and they're struggling to get up the field. They sloppily give it away again and win a free-kick through the middle when Wan-Bissaka catches Rakitic late.

12' The referee's whistle has gone for a foul against Antony, but it doesn't stop Rakitic from looping a long shot towards goal from the halfway line. It hits the back of the net, but it obviously won't count.

10' Sevilla's high press is still causing all sorts of problems here and United can't get out of their own half. This time, they flood forward to crowd Casemiro off the ball, but he manages to win a free-kick.

E. Lamela

Assist

8' Maguire didn't have a lot of options when De Gea played it into him, but Lamela reacted quickest to put him under pressure and quickly win it back.

Y. En-Nesyri

Goal

8' EN-NESYRI SCORES! It's poor from United, and they're punished for it. It's a risky pass from De Gea into Maguire on the edge of the D, but three Sevilla defenders swarm around him, and a poor touch gifts it straight to Lamela. He touches it into En-Nesyri, who's one-on-one with the keeper and coolly slots it into the bottom left corner. 1-0 Sevilla!

6' United are playing out from the back and Casemiro is able to cut open the midfield with a throughball to Antony. He squares it into Sabitzer, but he quickly loses out to Fernando.

4' Marcao got across and put some force into the shove to get Sabitzer off the ball. The Austrian is sent sliding into the bench on the sideline, and after quickly getting treatment, he's back on his feet to carry on.

2' Sevilla are looking to make a much better start than the one they did a week ago. Navas cuts out Maguire's long clearance and knocks it down the left for Rakitic, but his cross is blocked by Wan-BIssaka.

1' Sabitzer gets the game underway for United!

The teams are out on the pitch now, with kick-off just moments away!

Sevilla have never lost a match against United in major European competition in four previous meetings (W2 D2), with their only previous home game against the Red Devils ending 0-0 in February 2018.

Erik ten Hag makes just one change to the side that beat Forest on Sunday, and it's an enforced one. Sabitzer has recovered from a groin problem to start in place of Bruno Fernandes, who is suspended. They are boosted by the returns of Shaw, Rashford and Malacia from injury, with all of them fit enough for the bench.

Jose Luis Mendilibar makes five changes from the league win over Valencia last time out. Bounou returns in goal, with Acuna, Gudelj, Rakitic and Lamela also coming in. Dimitrovic, Rekik, Gil and Suso drop to the bench. Joan Jordan misses out with a muscle injury he picked up in that game, while Gonzalo Montiel is suspended.

MANCHESTER UNITED SUBS: Tyrell Malacia, Anthony Elanga, Zidane Iqbal, Radek Vitek, Facundo Pellistri, Fred, Jack Butland, Luke Shaw, Wout Weghorst, Marcus Rashford.

MANCHESTER UNITED STARTING XI (4-3-3): David de Gea; Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire, Diogo Dalot; Christian Eriksen, Casemiro, Marcel Sabitzer; Antony, Anthony Martial, Jadon Sancho.

SEVILLA SUBS: Bryan Gil, Tanguy Kouassi, Alejandro Gomez, Alberto Flores, Marko Dimitrovic, Karim Rekik, Suso, Oliver Torres, Alex Telles, Rafa Mir.

SEVILLA STARTING XI (4-5-1): Yassine Bounou; Jesus Navas, Loic Bade, Marcao, Marcos Acuna; Lucas Ocampos, Nemanja Gudelj, Fernando, Ivan Rakitic, Erik Lamela; Youssef En-Nesyri.

The tie is finely poised after the first leg after a 2-2 draw at Old Trafford, where two late own goals from the Red Devils pulled their opponents level. Both teams are also in similar form coming into this game. Sevilla are unbeaten in their last four outings in all competitions (W2 D2) and beat Valencia 2-0 on their return to LaLiga action at the weekend. United are also without defeat in four and have lost just one of their last nine in all competitions (W6 D2). They came out on top 2-0 winners in the Premier League on Sunday against Nottingham Forest.

Hello and welcome to live coverage of the Europa League quarter-final second leg between Sevilla and Manchester United at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan!
