Krasnodar are peppering the Sevilla box with cross after cross now. There are some very tired legs out there and the visitors are desperate to get back on level terms in the final few minutes.
90'
M. Berg gets yellow.
Berg is booked for dissent as play is halted so Diego Carlos can be attended to after the centre-back blocked a powerful shot from Chernov and stayed down.
85'
Krasnodar win a couple of corners as they try to apply some pressure, but Sevilla deal with the danger and get it away.
83'
K. Rekik enters the game and replaces L. de Jong.
Lopetegui makes yet another change, replacing De Jong - a striker - with a defender in Rekik.
81'
Sevilla then win a corner and duly take their time over that as well. The frustration of the Krasnodar players is palpable.
79'
Krasnodar are pouring men forward now, desperate to reclaim the initiative, but they're struggling to get a foothold. Sevilla have one eye on full-time now as Ocampos drives aimlessly through midfield before drawing a foul that the team can take their time over.
77'
Rodriguez is penalised for handball on the edge of the area, but Sevilla deal with the free-kick from out wide.
75'
Wanderson enters the game and replaces D. Utkin.
Utkin goes off for Wanderson as Musaev somehow finds himself chasing the game.
72'
Y. En-Nesyri has scored a goal for Sevilla!
GOAL!!! EN-NESYRI COMPLETES THE COMEBACK!!!! Unbelievable! 10-man Sevilla take the lead and it's En-Nesyri again, who looks to have been an inspired substitution! A free-kick from the left comes in and De Jong diverts it onto the post, but it comes back out to En-Nesyri in the box and the winger thumps a fierce effort in despite a touch from Safonov, who was beaten by the sheer power of the strike! It's 3-2 to Sevilla now!

Description
71'
Sevilla's hopes of a comeback looked to have been dashed at half-time, but despite being a man down, they've got themselves back on level terms after being 2-0 down! And they look the more likely side to score again - the momentum is with them.
69'
Y. En-Nesyri has scored a goal for Sevilla!
GOAL!!! SEVILLA ARE LEVEL!!! Substitute En-Nesyri presses high as Krasnodar pass awkwardly around the back and pinches the ball on the edge of the box on the left before surging forward and slotting past Safonov! It's 2-2 now!
67'
Sevilla are piling the pressure on despite being a man down. Krasnodar are clinging on as they face wave after wave of attacks.
65'
V. Claesson enters the game and replaces E. Spertsyan.
Another substitution - this time for Krasnodar. Spertsyan leaves the field, with Claesson coming on in his stead.
60'
Fernando enters the game and replaces M. El Haddadi.
Y. En-Nesyri enters the game and replaces Joan Jordán.
Munir also makes way for Fernando as a fourth set of fresh legs is introduced.
Lopetegui makes a second double-substitution as he chases the game. Jordan is replaced by En-Nesyri in the first change.
59'
Kaio Pantaleão gets yellow.
Kaio is the latest player to go into the book for a clumsy challenge on Munir.
56'
Lopetegui's side have competed despite being a man down - they've still enjoyed their fair share of possession and chances. Krasnodar's game-plan revolved around Sevilla enjoying more of the ball, and the visitors don't seem quite sure how to make the most of their man advantage.
51'
E. Spertsyan gets yellow.
Spertsyan is overzealous in his pressing as he closes Rodriguez down on the left wing and his hefty challenge earns him a yellow card.
49'
Óscar Rodríguez gets yellow.
Rodríguez is then booked for preventing a Krasnodar break following the resulting corner.
46'
E. Sorokin enters the game and replaces C. Ramírez.
Musaev makes a change to his Krasnodar side at the break, with Ramirez making way for Sorokin.
We're back underway for the second half!
45' +5
HALF-TIME: SEVILLA 1-2 KRASNODAR
45' +4
Jesús Navas goes off after a red card!
SENT OFF! Olsson gets in behind and is clean through on goal when Navas sprints back and catches him on the back of the ankle, halting his progress - and removing his boot in the process. The referee shows the Sevilla skipper a straight red for denying a clear goalscoring opportunity! The hosts are down to 10 men! Lopetegui has his head in his hands.
45' +1
Krasnodar suddenly look desperate for half-time to come. Sevilla have been buoyed by their goal and are attacking with real intent.
44'
Lopetegui will be delighted to see his side pull one back after his bold decision to make two changes before the break. Neither of his substitutes were directly involved in the goal, but the Sevilla pressure has been building over the last 10 minutes or so.
42'
I. Rakitić has scored a goal for Sevilla! Assist by Joan Jordán.
GOAL!! RAKITIC PULLS ONE BACK FOR SEVILLA!! The hosts pass and pass and eventually Jordan is released on the right wing. He crosses into the area where Rakitic gets free and rises highest to meet it at the near post, glancing into the far corner and beyond Safonov! It's 2-1 now!
Jordan drifted into a wide area from his central starting position and found space on the right before finding Rakitic with an excellent cross!
40'
Sevilla are still working the ball around patiently as they search for an opening. Their patterns of play almost always lead them to the right wing, where a cross goes into the box.
38'
Spertsyan's first meaningful contribution after coming on is to attempt an ambitious shot from outside the area that flies high and wide of the target.
36'
Neither Sevilla player looks pleased at being replaced in the first half, but Escudero, in particular, is furious, kicking a gate on his way to the stands.
34'
Óscar Rodríguez enters the game and replaces J. Koundé.
M. Acuña enters the game and replaces Sergio Escudero.
E. Spertsyan enters the game and replaces L. Sabua.
Escudero also leaves the field as new arrival Acuna comes on at left-back.
There's a substitution for Krasnodar as well as Sabua is replaced by Spertsyan on the wing. Perhaps that's down to an injury.
Lopetegui isn't going to wait until half-time. He's not happy with his team's performance so far and is making a double-change now. Kounde - who conceded the penalty - goes off for Rodriguez in the first alteration.
31'
OVER! A lengthy spell of Sevilla possession results in the ball being laid off to Rakitic on the edge of the box, but the midfielder's effort sails over the bar via a defender.
29'
Krasnodar are happy to continue as they have been to this point - playing a compact, low block and looking to exploit the ever-increasing space behind the Sevilla back four on the counter.
27'
Sevilla swarm forward and are committing plenty of bodies forward, but a cross from the right is claimed assertively by Safonov and the attack breaks down.
25'
Sevilla are still dominating the ball, but they've done themselves no favours at the back and now have a mountain to climb.
21'
Penalty goal scored by M. Berg for Krasnodar!
GOAL!! BERG CONVERTS THE PENALTY!! The striker stutters slightly in his run-up before striking an emphatic, low strike that evades Vaclik to find the bottom-left corner despite the goalkeeper guessing the right way. It's now 2-0 to Krasnodar!
19'
Olsson sees a shot blocked before Suleymanov drags a shot wide from the edge of the area, but play is stopped as there was a coming-together in the box that will be looked at.
17'
M. Suleymanov has scored a goal for Krasnodar!
GOAL!! SULEYMANOV PUTS KRASNODAR IN FRONT!! It's a beautiful strike from the winger! He steps up to the free-kick right on the edge of the right side of the box and hits a sweet, dipping effort into the top-right corner! Vaclik wasn't getting anywhere near that! It's 1-0 to Krasnodar!
16'
J. Koundé gets yellow.
Berg finds himself racing clear behind the Sevilla defence and Kounde lunges in to scythe him down just before he enters the box. It's a rash challenge, and the defender may count himself fortunate to only be shown a yellow.
13'
Sevilla surge forward down the right and Gudelj tries his luck from outside the box, but it's a scruffy effort and trickles into the grateful grasp of Safonov.
5'
Munir picks out Escudero in the box with a cross from the right, but the left-back doesn't catch the shot cleanly and slices well wide of the target.
3'
Sevilla are dominating the ball early on as they pin Krasnodar back and work it around in search of an opening.

We're underway in Seville!
Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of the Champions League fixture between Sevilla and Krasnodar at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan.
Sevilla have earned four points from their opening two group-stage fixtures and will be looking to put one foot in the knockout stages as they host Krasnodar tonight.
Sevilla XI (4-3-3): Tomas Vaclik; Jesus Navas, Jules Kounde, Diego Carlos, Sergio Escudero; Joan Jordan, Nemanja Gudelj, Ivan Rakitic; Munir El Haddadi, Luuk de Jong, Lucas Ocampos.
Sevilla substitutes: Marcos Acuna, Oscar Rodriguez, Yassine Bounou, Youssef En-Nesyri, Carlos Fernandez, Franco Vazquez, Antonio Zarzana, Alfonso Pastor, Oliver Torres, Fernando, Karim Rekik.
Krasnodar XI (4-3-3): Matvey Safonov; Cristian Ramirez, Aleksandr Martynovich, Kaio, Evgeni Chernov; Kristoffer Olsson, Yuri Gazinskiy, Daniil Utkin; Shapi Suleymanov, Marcus Berg, Leon Sabua.
Krasnodar substitutes: Evgeni Markov, Vyacheslav Litvinov, Eduard Spertsyan, Wanderson, Viktor Claesson, Evgeni Gorodov, Egor Sorokin, Ruslan Kambolov.
Lopetegui's expression was one of despair as the half-time whistle went. His opposite number, Musaev, looked a little nervous when Rakitic pulled one back, but his nerves have surely been settled by the red card shown to Navas. The Sevilla head coach has to somehow find a way to get something from this game with his team a man down for the entirety of the second half.
Thank you for joining our coverage, we hope you enjoyed the game. Until next time, goodbye!
The pair will meet again in their next Champions League fixture in Russia in just under three weeks' time.
