The home side started brightly, with En-Nesyri opening the scoring in the 12th minute after a brilliant through ball from Rakitic. Granada struggled to contain Sevilla's fluid movement, though they managed to equalize through a well-worked set piece.

β€œWe knew Granada would be tough opponents, but the players executed our game plan perfectly.”
