Half-Time Report: Sevilla on course for Europa League final

Sevilla score twice to extend their aggregate lead over Fiorentina to five goals in their Europa League semi-final clash.

Sevilla are on course to reach the Europa League final after opening up a 5-0 aggregate lead over Fiorentina in the second leg of their semi-final this evening.

Vitolo caused a moment of panic early on for the home side's defence, when his low delivery flashed through the legs of the keeper and dangerously across the box.

Borja Valero then blazed over the bar and Mohamed Salah saw a shot blocked as the hosts searched for the opening goal.

They soon came even closer to breaking the deadlock when Gonzalo Rodriguez's header was palmed away by Sergio Rico.

However, it was Sevilla who took the lead midway through the first half when Carlos Bacca fired into the roof of the net from close range after the hosts had failed to clear Ever Banega's free kick.

Daniel Carrico added a second goal for the visitors five minutes later with another close-range finish from Coke's low cross.

Coke then had a great chance to grab a third goal for his side just before the break, but after being picked out inside the box by Banega, he fired his effort over the bar.
