The match started intensely with numerous clashes. In the 12th minute, after VAR review, the referee awarded a penalty to Sevilla. Alexis Sanchez successfully converted the penalty into the bottom left corner, opening the score at the 13th minute.

Sevilla maintained their momentum and doubled their lead in the 36th minute. Ruben Vargas assisted Isaac Romero, who easily scored into an open net, making it 2-0.

However, Barcelona managed to reduce the deficit before halftime. At 45+7 minutes, Pedri made a clever pass to Marcus Rashford, who struck a precise one-touch shot into the top of the net, narrowing the score to 2-1. The first half ended with a total of 5 yellow cards issued to players from both teams.

The second half also saw VAR interventions. At the 57th minute, the referee reviewed a penalty claim by Sevilla but decided against awarding it.

Drama continued at the 75th minute when the referee granted Barcelona a penalty after consulting VAR on Adnan Januzaj’s shirt pull (Sevilla). However, Robert Lewandowski missed the chance by shooting wide to the left post from the spot.

Following the missed penalty, Sevilla exploded with two quick goals in the final minutes. At 90 minutes, Jose Angel Carmona fired a powerful shot from outside the box into the bottom left corner, making it 3-1. At 90+7 minutes, Chidera Ejuke assisted Akor Adams, who scored easily from close range to seal a 4-1 victory for Sevilla.
