#3 Occasion got the better of the relatively younger Sevilla side
It was expected to be an even match with both the teams head and shoulders above the other group members. Instead, it turned out to be an unruly evening with tempers flaring on both sides. Cynical fouls and rash challenges ruined the gameplay of the home side.
The first casualty was Franco Vázquez, who was sent off in the 36th minute, after receiving two yellow cards for visibly needless challenges. They were untowardly and absolutely unwarranted in the scheme of the play. Referee Mark Clattenburg had no hesitation in sending the Italian midfielder for an early shower. Maybe it was the lack of big game experience that got the better of the Spanish side. Juventus, having the more experienced heads in their ranks, took advantage of the same.
