Sevilla were only able to beat Zalgiris by a single goal, leaving everything open for next week�s second leg on the Lithuanian side�s artificial pitch. With one eye on the upcoming Spanish Supercup, Mach�n left out several key players. Banega gave the Andalusians the lead with a direct free kick shortly before the break, but they were unable to do more, and only a string of saves by Vaclik prevented the visitors from coming away with a draw.
