7 min: Boly has gone to ground and needs some treatment from the physios. A few players take the chance to have an early drink, which is an indication of how hot it is.
9 min: The game resumes and Boly is, it seems, fine to continue.
10 min: Sevilla have started to take control of the ball, enjoying the lion's share of possession. Wolves are well set off the ball as ever, though, and have already looked dangerous when they break.
11 min: Penalty to Wolves! Traore sets off on a powerful, surging run into the box and goes down under a sliding challenge from Carlos. Wolves have a big chance to take the lead.
13 min: Jimenez misses! It's a poor penalty, which Bono stands up to and saves to his left. The rebound comes to Moutinho, who lashes a shot wide.
14 min: Suso hits a stinging shot from about 25 yards out and forces a low save from Patricio. Sevilla, understandably, have been buoyed by the penalty miss, while Wolves will be hugely disappointed to have squandered the opportunity. The early signs are good from Traore, though.
18 min: The Spaniards are dominating possession but it's Wolves whose game plan has proved more effective so far. They're soaking up pressure, defending comfortably and should lead.
21 min: Navas crosses from the right and En-Nesyri rises highest in the box, powering a header over the bar.
24 min: A slick Sevilla move ends with a deep cross from Suso towards Ocampos at the back post. Doherty reads it well, getting a foot to the ball first and winning a free-kick in his own box.
25 min: This time it's Coady with a crucial interception to cut out a menacing Reguilon cross. Sevilla are beginning to probe now after a slow start.
