	90	Three minutes are added to the game.
	89	Reyes goes down inside the guest box after a little push from behind. No penalty sot...
	87	Sevilla are closer to the next one than Celta. The double in the middle of the second half was a real disappointment for the guests.
	85	Navas' jersey is pulled by Demidov but the referee decides to let the game continue.
	83	Negredo, scorer of a hat trick this evening, leaves the pitch with standing ovations. In for him is Baba.
	82	Dangerous free kick position for Celta at the right sideof the Sevilla box but the cross was intercepted by the defense easily.

	77	Navas with a nice run through three guest defenders, his shot then ends up half a metre next to the right post!

	74	Enrique De Lucas enters the pitch for the scorer of the only Celta goal tonight, Augusto Fernández.
	73	Again Navas inside the Celta box, his cross towards the penalty shot point goes past everyone though.

	69	Very long ball for Negredo towards the right wing but he keeps it in play and wins a throw in for Sevilla.
	67	Goal for Sevilla! ÁLVARO NEGREDO with the hat trick!! And again he used a rebound from short distance to score! After a pass from the left wing the guest defenders weren't able to get the ball away and from around the penalty shot point the Sevilla striker had the net wide open in front him!
	66	Varas leaves his net, clears against Navas on the wing.
	65	Goal for Sevilla! Completely out of the blue GARY MEDEL decides the match for the home side! His shot from about 25 metres distance was not very well-placed, Varas had his hands on the ball but he only deflected it into the left corner...!
	62	Celta with the clearance just before a Sevilla striker would have reached the ball at the second post!

	59	Corner from the left side by the guests from Vigo, into the arms of Beto.
	56	Navas lays on the ground in the midfield but his team colleagues continue with their attack. The cross from the left outside lane by Negredo was not precise enough.

	53	Raktiic (Sevilla) is booked for playing the ball with his hands while laying on the ground after a foul.
	52	Johny (Celta) subsequently gets the first yellow card of the game for his heavy entry in the midfield.
	52	Brutal entry by Johny in the midfield but the referee lets the play continue as Sevilla have a counter. The ball comes to Rakitic who is called back for offside - wrong decision by the assistant!!!

	46	The hosts made a change during the half time break. Reyes is now in the match for the rather unlucky Del Moral.
	46	Start of 2nd half.
		Celta made the better impression from the begin but two rebounds into the wide open net by Negredo after great solo runs by Navas led to a two-goal lead for the hosts from Sevilla. Celta continued with a lot of pressure and cut the lead to the half through Augusto Fernández. Shortly afterwards Orellana even had the big opportunity for the equalizer when he hit the crossbar!

	7	From a central position from about 22 metres distance Iago Aspas has the first good opportunity of the match. His shot towards the right bottom corner is cleared by Beto!

	3	Rather slow start in Sevilla. It is the expected picture. The hosts take over the initiative while Celta concentrate on their defense.
	1	Game started.
		Starting lineups: Sevilla FC: Beto - Coke, Fazio, F. Navarro, Moreno - Medel, Kondogbia - J. Navas, Rakitic, Del Moral - Negredo Celta Vigo: Varas - Bellvis, Demidov, Cabral, Johny - Á. López, Oubina - Orellana, Bermejo, A. Fernández - I. Aspas Referees: Del Cerro Grande
		Sevilla FC are 12th in Primera División with 32 points in 25 games. With a win today they could close the gap towards the European spots a little bit. Guests Celta de Vigo are in a far more complicated situation as 18th with 23 points. Sevilla stayed unbeaten during their last four home matches in the league but suffered recently due to their weak away record. Last Wednesday they missed the Copa del Rey final with a 2-2 draw against Atlético Madrid which was not enough after the 1-2 loss in the first leg. After only two points in six matches, the guests from Galicia gained a very important 2-1 win at home against Granada that positions them two points behind the non-relegation zone. Although Celta won at home against Sevilla at the start of the season (2-0), they are the clear outsiders this evening as they have one of the worst away records in the league. In 13 away games they only gained four points. If Sevilla get closer to the European spots or if Celta can collect important points in the fight against relegation, we'll see in a few minutes.
		Welcome. Game starts at 20:30 GMT / 21:30 CET.
