Lyon get us underway!
Hello and welcome to the live text commentary for Sevilla versus Lyon! We'll be providing you with all the action as it happens in the Ramos Sanchez Pijuan stadium.
Sevilla head into this match with Lyon coming off the back of a 3-1 loss at Athletic Club, but with a promising 0-0 draw in Turin for the opening matchday of the Champions League the hosts will be looking for victory.
Meanwhile, Lyon will be looking to build on their 3-0 victory over Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League, but with rocky form in Ligue 1 the visitors may have difficulty in Spain.
Both managers have clearly felt that wholescale changes are needed for their teams with Sampaoli going with seven for tonight's match and Genesio opting for five. Whether they reap the rewards remains to be seen.
Just five minutes until kick-off! The fans are in their seats, the players are in the tunnel and the atmosphere is building. Not long now!
Half time in at Sevilla and it's been a lively match. Ben Yedder has had the ball in the net and Fekir has struck the crossbar, but the score remains 0-0.
Full time in Sevilla. The hosts gain a victory they truly deserved, but in all honesty it should be more. Ben Yedder the difference between the two sides.
