After a goalless first half, Espanyol struck first on 56 minutes. Roberto Fernández teed up Dolan, who finished from close range. Sevilla responded with pressure and equalized when Djibril Sow slid a pass for Castrin to finish from the right channel on 82.

The final act arrived in stoppage time. Sánchez found Adams centrally and the striker guided in the 90+1 winner. Referee Javier Alberola Rojas showed 10 yellow cards in a chippy finish, with seven minutes added.
