Sevilla are through to next Thursday’s league stage draw after beating Istanbul Basaksehir 4-3 on aggregate! After the 1-2 win from last week, the Andalusians appeared to have had everything tied up, but with just over a quarter of an hour gone Elia scored for the Turkish side. After the restart an Escudero header and a Ben Yedder strike turned the scoreline around, but Visca netted again for the visitors with eight minutes to go, and they could have won it had Emre’s free kick not hit the upright in the dying seconds.
