Sevilla FC fell to defeat in Nicosia in a match where not a whole lot happened in the first half, but in which both teams could have taken the lead. In the second half, the outcome of the encounter changed within a minute, where Sevilla should have taken the lead, but Dabbur missed his penalty; and then Savic gave the hosts their goal. In this way, APOEL FC have stopped Sevilla from completing their group stage with a 100% record.
There wasn't much happening in the first twenty minutes of the game, as no team had much to shout about, even if Sevilla were dominating the ball. It was then, in the 27th minute, that the game came to life. Bryan lost the ball in the midfield, and the opposition player forced Bono into a good save to keep the game scoreless. Straight afterwards, Rony Lopes played Escudero through who then squared the ball to Ocampos to tap home. However, the linesman adjudged Ocampos to be in an offside position and, at this moment in time in the UEFA Europa League, there is no VAR.
