Work schedule prevented me from checking in on this one, but it seems that an evenly played match between two teams wound up being the wrong result for the visitors from North London.
A dubious penalty kick was awarded to the home side after what has been described as a perfect goalkeeping interception by goalie Paul Robinson, only to be waved off by the referee, who then converted on the attempt by former Spurs player Fredi Kanoute. That goal evened up the match, as Spurs captain Robbie Keane scored in the first 90 seconds to secure a vital away goal, which could be the difference after the rematch at White Hart Lane next Thursday. Sevilla's Aleksandr Kerzhakov tallied a few minutes before the half to give the home side the lead, and ultimately the victory, though, once again, it seems that Spurs had their share of chances, yet failed to convert them.
As with yesterday's CL match of AS Roma and Man United, so too was there crowd violence between the sets of supporters in the stands before the first half was over, there was a claim of Spanish police hitting a wheelchair-bound Spurs fan aired on Sky Sports a few minutes ago. I've yet to see any action from the match itself, hopefully the memories from today will propel Spurs to a sensational rematch next week.
