  • 94'
    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.

    Lanzini seems certain to score from the low cross but Jesus Navas dives in front of him to make a sensational block.

Goaaaaaal!
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.

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'
    A simple save as Ocampos tries to hook at goal from a narrow angle after a long pass into the area from Jesús Navas.
  • 52'
    Rice concedes a free-kick for a foul on Munir.
  • 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.

    In the first half-hour Sevilla, roared on by the noisy home support, had ten attempts to the home side's three.

    Areola called into action there as En-Nesyri gets between the centre-backs to glance a header across goal.
  • 27'
    A decent opening on the edge of the area for Munir, who sweeps wide following an incisive pass from Acuña.

  • 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.

    The stadium has come alive as the Sevilla fans sing their fabulous centenary anthem (el Himno del Centenario) and the 3,000 West Ham supporters respond with a song or two of their own.
  • PRVW
    Jesus Navas and Declan Rice, the two captains, come together for the coin toss and we're about to start!
  • PRVW
    The teams make their way out here!
  • PRVW
    Swiss Sandro Scharer is the referee for this one while German Sascha Stegemann is the VAR.
  • PRVW
    There has been a last-minute change to the Sevilla starting XI with Rakitic, who turns 34 today, dropping out and Munir coming into the team in his place. We'll hear the reason why in Lopetegui's post-match press conference.
  • 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.
  • PRVW
    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.
  • PRVW
    Sevilla's starting XI features just one change from the team held 0-0 at Alaves last Friday with Oliver Torres coming in for the suspended Delaney in midfield.

    For West Ham this is the third meeting with Spanish opponents. They beat Real Zaragoza 3-2 on aggregate in the semi-finals of their victorious UEFA Cup Winners' Cup campaign in 1964/65. Then, in the same competition in 1980/81, they overcame Real Madrid Castilla 6-4 on aggregate in the first round.
  • PRVW
    Sevilla have won two UEFA Cup/Europa League finals against English sides, beating Middlesbrough 4-0 in Eindhoven in 2006 to win the trophy for the first time and then defeating Liverpool 3-1 in Basel in 2016 for the fifth of their six triumphs.
