Adams was named among the substitutes and Neal Maupay started up front.

Almeyda admitted that he was not happy with the forward’s performance in Sevilla’s previous match against Barcelona.
“We have three forwards. I’m testing them to see who scores the goals. I brought Neal back after his injury. I wasn’t happy with Akor’s last game, so we tried to rotate the team. It’s very difficult to please everyone.” Almeyda was quoted by a Spanish media outlet, alphabet.
Almeyda also explained Adams’ early introduction after the break.
“César left because he felt discomfort in his adductor. Seeing how they were positioned with a back of three, I thought that with the entry of Akor we would have a better attacking option,” he added.
“I made the change from that position. At half-time we made another change to try to improve, but we couldn’t.”
