A late strike from Denis Suárez helped defending champion Sevilla come from behind to beat Zenit St. Petersburg 2-1 in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final in Spain.
The on-loan Barcelona forward was leaning back as he stretched to reach fellow substitute Stephane Mbia’s cross, but the resulting volley had a wicked loop on it to beat the goalkeeper in the 88th minute.
Fifteen minutes earlier, Carlos Bacca had headed Sevilla level, with Alexander Ryazantsev having put Zenit ahead after half an hour.
It seemed harsh on Zenit, who had enjoyed long spells on top but struggled to contain Sevilla in the brief spurts during which they did turn it on.
