    FT: Sevilla 1-0 West Ham! Munir's goal was worthy of winning any game but, with earlier chances spurned at either end, this tie remains in the balance. You can’t forgot this Sevilla side is well-versed in this competition. The performance from West Ham was good but you’re indifferent about the result. They are still in this tie but will need lifting.

de Sevilla en el 60'
  • 60'
    GOAL for Sevilla! There's the breakthrough! The free-kick is brilliantly disguised with everyone rushing to the near post except for Munir, who stays at the far post and unleashes a wonderfully-controlled half-volley across the goalkeeper.

Yellow card

a West Ham
  • 58'
    Zouma is booked for a foul on Ocampos.
  • 57'
    En-Nesyri again finds space in the centre of the West Ham area and glances Óliver Torres' cross at goal but it is too near Areola this time.
  • 55'
    The ball sits up for Munir on the edge of the area after he chests the ball up in the air but he blazes over the top.
  • 53'

  • 48'
    Corner awarded to Sevilla.
  • 47'
    Good hold-up play from Antonio, whose lay-off is thrashed at goal from the edge of the area. Bounou beats it to safety.
  • 47'
    Jordan misses the target. A speculative effort to start the half from the midfielder that flies well over.
  • 46'
    Sevilla get us going again!
  • 45'
    HT: Sevilla 0-0 West Ham! Chances at both ends in a lively opening 15 minutes but since then it has been tight and we reach the break still looking for the first goal.

    Kounde with a shot from 25 metres that bobbles easily through to the goalkeeper.

    Sevilla's turn from a set piece but Torres' volley at the far post is sliced high and wide.
  • 13'
    Jordan earns a corner for hosts.
  • 11'
    Huge chance for West Ham! No surprise it comes from a set piece as the deep Lanzini free-kick is headed across goal by Rice and Vlaši? can only power his header at Bounou from six metres. Anywhere wide of the goalkeeper and that was the opener.

  • PRVW
    Diego Carlos missing at the back is huge for West Ham as they are such a threat at set pieces with Cresswell’s delivery to Soucek, Dawson and Antonio.
  • PRVW
    The players start their warm-up and prepare the final details before the start of the match #SEVWHU.

  • PRVW
    It’s a massive boost to have Rice back. But they did well without him so that will give everyone a lift too. It’s a well-balanced West Ham team that Moyes has selected tonight, not too defensive. They’ll be looking to press Sevilla and score tonight.
  • PRVW
    This is how the visitor side arrived at the stadium, will they be able to win without the support of their home crowd?

  • PRVW
    It's 20 degrees and sunny in Seville for this one. All set at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan to get the ball rolling and enjoy the Europa League show.

    Both teams have something in common: Frederic Kanoute, who played for West Ham from 2000-03 and later became Sevilla’s top-scoring foreign player of all time by hitting 130 goals during an eight-year spell from 2005-12.

  • PRVW
    Moyes has made two changes to the West Ham team that started last Saturday’s 1-0 loss at Liverpool. Areola replaces Fabianski in goal while Rice, who missed the Anfield game through injury, comes back in for the injured Bowen.
