Moroccan striker Youssef En-Nesyri hit the back of the net as he helped his team Sevilla beat Italian royalty Roma in the Round of 16 of the Europa League.

Both sides met in Duisburg, a neutral venue, because the first leg in Sevilla on March 12 was called off. It was 33 degrees at kick-off and a drinks break was taken in each half.

Sergio Reguilon opened the scoring after just 20-minutes played for Sevilla, as Julen Lopetegui’s side wasted no time in imposing themselves on the contest.

Shortly after the half-time interval, En-Nesyri was on hand to turn in from close range, following a swift section of build-up and a pinpoint fizzing cross from Lucas Ocampos.

Meanwhile, Guinean midfielder, Amadou Diawara played for 57mins in the match, as he struggled to make a mark for the Giallorossi.
