Sevilla fightback forces Super Cup into extra time

Sevilla fightback forces Super Cup into extra time

Sevilla produced a stunning comeback from 4-1 down to take European champions Barcelona to extra time in the UEFA Super Cup final on Tuesday.

Two stunning free-kicks from Lionel Messi plus goals from Rafinha and Luis Suarez looked to have Barca well on course to claim their fourth trophy of the year.

However, Jose Antonio Reyes reduced the arrears before a Kevin Gameiro penalty and a debut strike from Yevhen Konoplyanka forced the game into an extra 30 minutes.
