The Sevilla FC head coach was cautious despite the team's good progress in Europe

After the victory over F91 Dudelange in the third matchday in Group A of the UEFA Europa League, Julen Lopetegui spoke to the media. He firstly said that "really, the only things that matter are the mathematics. We entered into their box well during the game, and had a lot of good chances to score. In the second half we were more probing and we were able to capatilize and score our goals".

To the same extent, he underlined the effort his team put in during the second half after the goals went in: "These are the games where you can't stop trying. We had to play a little faster and take advantage of our opportunities".

Moving on to individuals, Lopetegui was pleased with Munas Dabbur's contribution: "Munas had a great game. It was a shame that he didn't score, but he put good work in". He also spoke about Sergi Gómez who had to be brought off due to an injury: "He could have a sprained collarbone, but we must wait until the tests are done to know exactly what happened".

In closing, Lopetegui spoke about Sunday's home game against Getafe CF: "We have to recover quickly as in three days time, we're back at work".
