Late Federico Gatti goal spares Juventus blushes against Sevilla

Sevilla are the kings of the Europa League, and on Thursday it appeared as though they would take one step closer to yet another final.

The Spanish side took an early lead over Juventus in Thursday's first leg of the semi-finals thanks to Youssef En-Nesyri's 26th-minute strike, and they limited their hosts to no shots on target in the first half of the contest.

Juve came out a better side in the second half but still struggled to create dangerous chances, and it looked like Sevilla would once again claim victory against a more fancied opponent in the competition that they've won more than any other side.

However, a botched late clearance by Sevilla led to a corner kick for Juve, who clinically worked the set piece to eventually find Federico Gatti for the game-tying header seven minutes into stoppage time.

The result leaves everything to play for between the sides when they reconvene for the second leg in Seville next week.
