Outstanding performance
Espanyol•MidfielderEspanyol dominated the underlying numbers, out-shooting Sevilla 12-6 and controlling 56% of possession, and their pressure told when Omar El Hilali struck early in the second half moments after Sevilla had gone down to ten men through Arouna Sangante's professional foul. But Sevilla, despite being reduced to ten and creating little all game, showed remarkable resilience as substitute Lucas Stassin punished a moment of carelessness to level things up with five minutes left. Espanyol had the last word though, with another substitute, Marcos Fernández, rising highest from a corner-esque scramble to head home in the very last minute after his own effort had cannoned off the woodwork. A ferocious, foul-strewn contest - eight cards and a red - ultimately shared with two goals in the final six minutes, leaving both sides to reflect on chances not fully capitalized upon given Espanyol's four big chances created and three missed.
