Both the teams started smooth with Roma dominating the first half looking rock solid in defense not allowing Sevilla to create any space in the beginning and making quick counter attacks in one of which Dybala took an early advantage to score for Romans in the 34th minute to put them in lead. Sevilla tried to come back with multiple attack build ups late in the half without scoring. Rakitic came really close to scoring in the end of first only to hit the post.
