Real Mallorca 0 - Sevilla 1

Mallorca started very brightly, Abdón forcing Bono to save with his chest after five minutes and producing another save by the Sevilla keeper a minute later. Following this early flurry, Sevilla gradually got the upper hand but were running into the Mallorca defensive wall.

Into the second half, and Mallorca were rocked by a great strike by Serbian midfielder Nemanja Gudelj, whose shot from distance beat his fellow countryman Predrag Rajkovic all ends up on 52 minutes. Gudelj, this time with a header, went close to making it two-nil to Sevilla in the 65th minute.

With five minutes left of normal time, Ángel Rodríguez, on for Abdón, was denied by another save by Sevilla's Moroccan goalkeeper Bono (Yassine Bounou).
