Real Madrid vs. Sevilla: Score, Reaction from 2016 UEFA Super Cup

Dani Carvajal’s superb solo goal won Real Madrid the 2016 UEFA European Super Cup after extra time at Norway’s Lerkendal Stadion in Trondheim on Tuesday. Real won 3-2 at the expense of a Sevilla side that thought they’d won the game in normal time, only for Sergio Ramos’ close-range, injury-time equaliser to agonisingly deny them.

Sevilla then couldn’t quite survive extra time after seeing centre-back Timothee Kolodziejczak sent off for a second booking.

Earlier, Yevhen Konoplyanka’s penalty appeared set to give the last season’s UEFA Europa League winners a 2-1 win. Konoplyanka struck home after Ramos had felled Vitolo in the box with barely 20 minutes remaining in the second half.

Konoplyanka’s successful penalty completed a quality comeback for new-look Sevilla in regulation time against a weakened Real side that had taken the lead courtesy of a wonder goal from Marco Asensio in the fist half. Franco Vazquez replied before the break with a crafty finish ahead of the drama in the second half.

The Champions League holders went with a young starting XI, as manager Zinedine Zidane opted to give many fringe players a chance to shine, including Asensio. Real’s official site detailed the team that also included Alvaro Morata up front:
