Sevilla were unable to score at home to Mainz 05, although their goalless draw at least gives them a fair chance in the second leg in a fortnight's time. Juande Ramos put out a strong side with Kanouté and Luis Fabiano leading the attack, but they were unable to get past an excellent Wache who kept out Jesús Navas in the third minute.

Kanouté put the best chance of the first half over the bar on the half hour mark, and Maresca and Adriano both went close before the half time whistle. The only reply from the German side was an effort from Turk just wide of the post midway through the first half, but otherwise they sat back to defend and take a draw back home for the second leg.

Ramos brought on Kepa and Jesuli in the second half, and Kepa headed over the bar from close up just a minute after coming on. But gradually the Spaniards ran out of steam, and they now have it all to do in two weeks' time.
