    Juventus Snatch Late Draw Against Sevilla In Europa League

    FEDERICO Gatti headed home in the 97th minute to earn Juventus a 1-1 draw against Sevilla in their Europa League semi-final first leg on Thursday.

    Youssef En-Nesyri gave the record six-time champions the lead in the first half and they seemed set to take that advantage back to Seville before Gatti’s late intervention.

    Moroccan international En-Nesyri finished a sharp counter-attack in the 26th minute to break the deadlock in Turin.

    Jose Luis Mendilibar’s side deserved their lead at the break and although Juventus improved, the Andalucians shut them out well in their bid to take their advantage back to the rowdy Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan next week.

    However Gatti nodded home from point blank range after substitute Paul Pogba headed the ball back into his path from a corner.

    “It’s a shame, given the game that we played, that they levelled in the last play of the match, but it is what it is,” said Mendilibar.

    “We stopped Juventus in every moment and we played well at times too, we have to think about that, not the last moment of the game.”

    Sevilla, who dumped Manchester United out in the quarter-finals, have never been knocked out of the tournament in the semi-final stage.

    The Spaniards, who won the Europa League at the Juventus Stadium in 2014, made themselves at home in the first half.

    The hosts should have taken the lead when Dusan Vlahovic fired over, perhaps put off by Sevilla goalkeeper Yassine Bounou’s dive at his feet.

    After that Mendilibar’s side started to impose themselves, with Lucas Ocampos playing a key role.

    The Argentine winger, recalled from his loan at Ajax in January, sent a shot inches wide from close range, before making amends by setting up the opening goal.

    Ocampos drove forward and played a low ball across the area, which Bryan Gil left for En-Nesyri to sweep home.

    The forward has been in sensational form since the World Cup, with 16 goals in 2023 across all competitions.

    “On the counter-attack we were caught out because we didn’t track back and left gaps,” Juve coach Massimiliano Allegri told Sky Sport Italia.

    “(We) did well to fight back and get a deserved draw which leaves everything to play for in the second leg.”

    Sevilla were dealt a blow when Ocampos limped off injured shortly afterwards, but stayed on the attack. Wojciech Szczesny tipped over an Ivan Rakitic drive from distance, while En-Nesyri curled narrowly off target.
