26 min: Banega plays a lovely ball into Suso, who takes up a position between Wolves' defence and midfield, turns and prods a pass through to En-Nesyri. The Moroccan striker goes for goal with a first-time shot on his left foot but drags it well wide.
28 min: Moutinho goes for the spectacular, hitting a dropping ball on the half-volley from distance and sending it a long way over the bar. He's capable of scoring from there, but this time it doesn't come off.
33 min: Wolves are being forced into more and more defending now as Sevilla grow in confidence. Doherty gets up to head clear a corner, but the Spanish side keep coming.
35 min: Navas has already sent several crosses into the box, but Wolves seem content to let that happen. So far, Boly, Coady and Saiss have headed away almost everything.
37 min: Close! Ocampos is picked out in the box, shuffles onto his right foot and curls a shot towards the far corner. Patricio is at full stretch, but the ball flies just past the post.
38 min: The pattern of the game might be becoming a slight concern for Santo. His side have barely touched the ball in the last few minutes, though they've restricted Sevilla to very few chances. Banega takes the chance to have a go from distance, sending a deflected effort looping into the hands of Patricio.
40 min: Suso drills a powerful shot at goal but Saiss, bravely, gets in the way.
42 min: For all of Sevilla's possession, they're struggling to really create clear chances. Jordan is next to test Patricio, hitting a dipping shot straight at the goalkeeper.
45 min: Banega swings in another corner but Neves is fouled in the box and the referee awards Wolves a free kick.
