And the thing is that Sevilla no longer had any more extensions.

On every span of grass, a battle.

In every minute, a final.

In each breath, a storm.

Wolfsburg came out covered, with a line of four, filling the medullary, posing a long game, looking for the nerve wear.

The locals responded with intensity and discipline.

It was victory or nothing.

It was either winning or a long goodbye.

Jules Koundé

finished hard but centered a corner in the first minutes. You could see the motivation and the desire in the Lopetegui team, who screamed from the band, who asked for verticality and fang. In the 12th minute,

Ivan Rakitic

put the ball tender and precise in the small area and

Joan Jordán

, almost imploring, dropping to his knees, sent it head to goal. He screamed as if it were the last. There was in his rage a reflection of what his team's game would be like. A luminous struggle.

He scared

Felix Nmecha

with a very strong shot that

Bono

deflected as best he could and that ended up crashing against the crossbar.

The hosts counterattacked after a failure by central defender Brooks at 35, which was not forceful on a punt and allowed Jordán to face

Pavao Pervan

.

The midfielder lost control, ruining the occasion, but the fragility of the Germans and the determination of the Andalusians became clear.

A meager treasure

Josuha Guilavogui

was the best of his team. Ubiquitous, generous, he supported the wolves when

Papu Gómez

,

Munir

and

Lucas Ocampos

pressed the most

, the improvised offensive trident raised by his boss after the cascade of casualties. Rakitic reigned and

Fernando

did not give away a blade of grass. The stands, hopeful, cradled their own. The night looked beautiful, but a goal is a meager treasure, just a little shine.

After the break, the same tapping continued. Sevilla prevailing in the medullary and Wolfsburg blunted and pressing in vain.

Florian Kohfeldt

held his eleven until 66, giving entry to

Maximilian Philipp

.

Julen Lopetegui

preferred to keep his eleven intact. The meeting got tangled. Many fouls, many inaccuracies, scribbled strategies and soft attacks.

Koundé tested Pervan in the 68th minute with an acrobatic volley, but the Austrian goalkeeper stopped safely and down with one hand.

The clock ticked in favor of Sevilla, but their superiority languished and their football was blurred.

Acuña and

Montiel

shone on the wings, both in attack and defense, while

Jerome Roussillon

and

Ridle Baku

, on the other side, were indolent and blunt.

The script had no frills, practically surviving.

Mir's sentence

The young Wolfsburg coach put

Dodi Lukebakio

,

Paulo Otávio

and

Kevin Mbabu

into the box with

barely fifteen minutes left. A desperate attempt to add some logic to his narrow and confused attacks.

Óliver Torres

,

Rafa Mir

and

Thomas Delaney

came out in white

to give Sevilla oxygen, which was facing the final stretch of the match knowing that it was suffering and harassed. A tiny marker demands inordinate suffering. Those from Lopetegui slept the game and drove the green players away from their area. The meeting happened boring, without occasions, comfortable for a team that dreams of Europe again.

Sevilla won, which was their commitment, without fanfare, without enthusiasm, but with a reassuring assurance.

Rafa Mir, in the last second of the game, with the entire Wolsfurgo battling blindly, with Pervan joining the attack, scored the final goal from Ocampos.

Now you have to win in Salzburg to get to the next round.

A new ending.
