Juventus lost in extra time, Serie A's dream of dominating Europa League is over

Having escaped a narrow escape in the first leg of the semi-final last week when they were lucky to equalise 1-1 in injury time, Juventus at least did well in the return leg at Sevilla, although Dusan Vlahovic's opening goal only came in the 65th minute. In this situation, the home team Sevilla's central defenders almost opened up the goal for the opponent to finish.

Losing means being eliminated, so both Sevilla and the away team Juventus focused on both attack and defense, pushing the match into a competitive, even somewhat boring situation when both sides could not create the necessary breakthroughs during more than an hour of competition.

Suso holds on to Sevilla's hopes after 90 minutes

It wasn't until Juventus scored a goal in the 65th minute that Sevilla really woke up. With nothing to lose, the Sanchez Pizjuan team pushed up their formation and flooded into Juventus' half. Entering the field in the 70th minute, former Tottenham striker Erik Lamela made a pass for Suso to unleash a powerful shot that goalkeeper Woicjech Sczcesny couldn't block.

The 1-1 score remained until the end of 90 minutes and the two sides had to enter two extra periods. Erik Lamela was still shining, this time he suddenly appeared in the Juventus penalty area, received the ball from another former Tottenham member, Brian Gil, and headed the ball close to the goal in the 95th minute.

Just like in the previous situation, goalkeeper Woicjech Sczcesny could not prevent his own net from shaking for the second time in the match.

Sevilla happy after winning ticket to the final

Winning 2-1 after 120 minutes and overcoming two legs of the semi-final with a total score of 3-2, Sevilla won the right to play in the Europa League final while Juventus once again played the role of "underdog" in the European arena.

Juventus were unlucky but their compatriots AS Roma were really lucky to hold Bayer Leverkusen to a 0-0 draw in the second leg. Last week, Jose Mourinho's team won a narrow 1-0 home win in the first leg of the semi-final.
