SAMPAOLI: "THE TEAM WERE BRAVE AND WELL-ORGANISED DESPITE BEING TWO MEN DOWN"

Jorge Sampaoli, Sevilla FC manager, analysed the match against Real Sociedad at home: "It's tough to analyse, situations outside of our control changed the course of the match. The team had courage and organised themselves in the second half with two men down. The situations that make or break the match are the sendings off and after that, we could only see what we could do when down two men."

"The team made an effort to draw on the fans' support. I really appreciate that and the effort of the lads right to the end," he concluded.
